Primary care physician digital health profile and burnout: an international cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Digital health offers promising solutions for enhancing patient care, yet adoption varies among physicians, partly due to concerns about administrative burdens and burnout. This study assessed digital health use and burnout among primary care physicians in 10 OECD countries and examined their relationship.

Methods

We conducted a secondary analysis of "The Commonwealth Fund's 2022 International Health Policy Survey," including 9526 randomly selected primary care physicians (general practitioners or pediatricians in ambulatory care) from 10 OECD countries. We created a digital health score based on the use and frequency of digital tools. Self-reported burnout and related outcomes were analyzed. Cross-country differences were assessed using stratified analyses. Assoc
