| Abstrakt: | Since the publication of the Institute of Medicine's landmark report on medical errors in 2000, a large number of safety programs have been implemented in American hospitals. Concurrently, there has been a dramatic increase in the rate of burnout among physicians. Although there are many unrelated causes of burnout (eg, loss of autonomy), and multiple safety programs that are applauded by physicians (eg, The Safe Motherhood Initiative), other programs created in the name of safety improvements may be contributing to physician distress. In this piece, we review several of those programs, describe their limitations and costs to physician well-being, and discuss the manner in which they might be modified to retain their benefits while mitigating the burdens they place on physicians.
