Abstract

Radiologists experience higher than average rates of burnout. Contributing factors include job tedium, a lack of a sense of autonomy, and decreasing compensation in the context of practices closely monitoring relative value unit output. Increasing radiologist efficiency may be a strategy for mitigating burnout, as freeing up time may allow radiologists to focus their attention on the aspects of their job that they enjoy and find most meaningful. In this work we propose several strategies of distraction minimization and time optimization that radiologists may employ to increase their efficiency.
