Is burnout associated with referral rates among primary care physicians in community clinics?

The following study, published in Family Practice, examines possible associations between primary care physicians’ burnout and rates of referrals, which is conceptualized as a negative outcome of burnout because聽high and unnecessary referral rates incur extra costs to health care systems. Findings support the conceptualization of referrals rates as objectively measured negative outcomes of burnout. Further replications with other objective outcomes, additional HMOs and bigger samples are warranted.
