Modern Aesthetics® spoke with Catherine Miller, RN, JD, a Senior Risk Management & Patient Safety Specialist for the Cooperative of American Physicians, Inc. (CAP) in Los Angeles, about physician burnout, why we are seeing more of it today, and importantly what doctors can do to avoid or reverse it.

Just like physicians working with historical and established medical care, all telehealth, video, m-health, and e-health physicians or caregivers must uphold the same standard for safeguarding all of the records on patients’ care and on conversations securely and confidentially.

The terms “capacity” and “competence” are often used interchangeably, but there are important differences.

Becoming a physician is a not just a career choice, it is “a calling” and a lifelong commitment. Unfortunately, for many physicians, the professional rewards of status, security, and meaningful work are threatened by an avalanche of responsibility and stress characterizing today’s practice environment and further contributing to an escalating epidemic of physician stress and burnout.
