While multifactorial, a major contributing factor to burnout is a payment model that rewards volume over quality, leaving physicians overburdened and unfulfilled. The aim of this review was to investigate ways of reducing burnout while improving quality-based outcomes in a value-based health care model.</p><p><strong>Recent findings: </strong>Burnout affects researchers, educators, clinicians, and administrators in all fields and tracks, but neurologists experience some of the worst burnout rates among specialties. Transitioning to a value-based health care model, which rewards quality and outcomes over volume, may contribute to reversing the burnout trend. However, this requires that physicians feel valued in the workplace in ways corresponding to their preferences. We propose to stratify neurologists using the \"basket of motivators\" framework, which operates multiple individual-based and team-based motivators including balance among work responsibilities, work-life balance, institutional pride, self-actualization at work, work environment, and finances. By tailoring individual-based and team-based financial and nonfinancial incentives, neurologists are empowered to work at the top of their license to provide high-impact clinical care while combating the most prominent causes of burnout.</p><p><strong>Summary: </strong>To address the neurologist burnout epidemic, a transition to value-based health care is needed that rewards quality-based performance outcomes through both individual-based and team-based approaches that apply financial and nonfinancial incentives.

Higher scores on both psychological screening instruments were associated with greater headache frequency. More than 10% of patients endorsed current suicidal ideation; this was not related to headache-related disability. Participants reported a high degree of ED utilization for headache; these rates were unrelated to endorsement of psychological comorbidities.</p><p><strong>Discussion: </strong>In this sample of AYAs, headache characteristics were generally unrelated to scores on measures on psychological functioning. However, the observed rates of clinically elevated anxiety/depressive symptoms and suicidality in this sample of AYAs underscore the importance of screening for psychological comorbidities in neurology clinics that serve this age group, irrespective of self-reported disability. Results also emphasize the need to expand access to behavioral health services for AYAs with headache disorders and the importance of incorporating a biopsychosocial perspective to the transition of health care from pediatrics to adult neurology practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":19136,"journal":{"name":"Neurology.
