"We are arriving at a critical juncture, one in which leaders in every facet of the health care industryfrom pharmaceutical CEOs to hospital administratorsneed to reflect on the causes and impact of this crisis and, most important, explore avenues for systemic change."
That's the takeaway from the ninth annual Future Health Index, a survey of nearly 3,000 leaders in the health care industry, released this week by health care technology company Philips.
The survey found that 92% of health care leaders say workforce shortages are having a "profound impact on staff well-being, work-life balance, morale, and mental health," and 81% say those shortages have a negative impact on patient care, per Fortune.
The US is expected to face a shortage of as many as 86,000 clinicians by 2036, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges.
A recent study from consulting firm AMN Healthcare found that in the 15 largest US cities, it takes nearly a month to see a new physician, more than a month to see an ob-gyn, and even longer for other specialists.
"This is happening not just in under-resourced community hospitals, but at some of the best academic medical centers in the world," AMN Healthcare's CEO says in a press release.
