VA physicians intent to leave and correlations to drivers of burnout: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Physician well-being and workforce retention within the healthcare system is of critical importance. Understanding physicians' intent to leave the organization will inform efforts on optimizing the physician workforce. In this study, we examine the association of burnout and specific drivers of burnout on turnover intentions.

Methods

The study was a cross-sectional design using data collected from an organization-wide workforce survey. The sample included 16,363 respondents from the Veterans Health Administration (VA). A multinomial model was run to compare physicians indicating turnover intent because they were: a.) changing internal jobs; b.) leaving the organization for another job; or c.) retiring, against physicians indicating they had no plans to turnover.
