When Community Health Network, a non-profit health system with more than 17,000 employees and 200 sites of care across Central Indiana, identified physician burnout as a critical challenge, they implemented a strategic solution. By partnering with VITAL WorkLife to establish its Center for Physician Well-Being and Professional Development, Community Health Network achieved impressive outcomes, including:
- Reducing its physician burnout rate from 43% in 2017 to 33% in 2023.
- Boosting annual engagement with VITAL WorkLife's Physician Well-Being Resources to more than 33% of physicians and advanced practice providers (APPs).
- Maintaining a physician and APP turnover rate of approximately 4%—nearly half the national average of 7.6%.
- Earning recognition from the American Medical Association as a Joy in Medicine™ award winner.
Community Health Network transformed its approach to clinician well-being through a comprehensive, organization-wide commitment to supporting physicians and APPs at every career stage.
