Burnout Among Health System Pharmacists: Presentation, Consequences, and Recommendations.

Burnout remains an emerging challenge in healthcare. Burnout in these settings has been associated with compromised personal wellbeing, decreased work productivity, higher healthcare costs, decreased patient satisfaction, and deteriorating quality of patient care. As pharmacist roles on healthcare teams expand, health-system pharmacy leaders should be cognizant of burnout, including risk factors and identification. Coordinated efforts should foster pharmacist wellbeing and resilience, individualized work-related responsibilities to ensure professional ambitions are met, promotion of upper leadership expectation transparency, and cultivation of relationships within the pharmacy department.
