How do physician engagement and health-related social needs (HRSNs) impact burnout? A recent study highlighted in Pharmaceutical Commerce Magazine and published in JAMA explores this critical connection. Addressing HRSN challenges is essential for advancing health equity, but it may also increase the risk of physician burnout due to growing administrative demands.
