Today is National Physician Suicide Awareness day. #NPSADay
A couple of issues drive problems with physician mental well-being:
- Job-associated burnout
- Stigma and harm associated with seeking help (having to report this condition on your license, and to your hospital)

What I find interesting are the responses you get from physicians when you ask about what actions can be taken to reduce burnout. Not shorter hours / more pay.
- Reducing low-value work & EHR clicks
- Eliminating insurance barriers like #PriorAuth

These factors don't just affect physicians. Nurses, RTs, MAs, CNAs & more are harmed.
We are in a work-force crisis. We should be looking to protect the people we have.
Forget the mindfulness exercises.
Reduce EHR burdens.
Reduce box-checking.

#NPSADay is on Saturday. How will you get involved this year? Start by learning the six actions you can take to prevent #physician suicide at NPSADay.org. #NPSADay

Action 1 is to learn the Vital Signs. Prevention begins with understanding suicide warning signs. The HEART acronym helps to easily remember the signs: Health, Emotions, Attitude, Relationships and Temperament. Learn more at NPSADay.org. #NPSADay
Action 2 is to share suicide prevention resources. Physicians face many challenges, and there are resources that can provide immediate and ongoing support. Help #physicians by spreading awareness of these resources. Learn more at npsaday.org/share-suicide-… #NPSADay.
