Health care executive Jeffry A. Peters discusses his article "Ending physicians' addiction to unhappiness," focusing on the systemic factors fueling widespread dissatisfaction among doctors. Jeffry outlines how declining reimbursement, increased patient volume, and reduced support staff have turned physicians into disempowered production workers. He offers a blueprint for reversing this trend by creating a culture where physicians feel valued, supported, and heard. Key solutions include competitive compensation, flexible schedules, shared governance, and leadership opportunities. Jeffry emphasizes that health systems that prioritize physician well-being and empowerment will gain a sustainable competitive advantage in recruitment, retention, and quality care delivery.
