Medical burnout is a common problem among healthcare workers, especially doctors and nurses, and is marked by emotional tiredness, dissociation, and a sense of poor personal achievement. This study explores the causes that contribute to physician burnout, as well as the repercussions for the physician’s well-being, clinical outcomes, and the medical system, in this review. Physicians confront everyday obstacles in delivering treatment to their clients, and higher stress levels among overworked physicians may contribute to burnout. Physicians are also required by the healthcare system to keep careful records of their physician-patient contacts as well as secretarial tasks. Practitioners are not very good at handling secretarial responsibilities, which may divert their attention away from providing care to their patients. From this research, nurses can distinguish their skill and educational shortcomings and what they can do to solve them.

Quality of care is defined in a variety of ways by various healthcare stakeholders. All of these issues might be addressed by public policy. The purpose of this study was to determine the key topics on patient safety voiced by stakeholders before and after Korea’s Patient Safety Act was implemented in 2015. Various stakeholders, including society as a whole, patients, clinicians such as doctors and nurses, instructors, administration staff, scientists, professional organizations, authorities and legislative bodies, and accrediting agencies, are responsible for making sure that patient care is delivered safely and that patients are not harmed. According to this study, all of these stakeholders have their concerns about the safety of patient care, especially in medication errors. Nurses can read this research and gain knowledge about the international practices that are taking place and what are the concerns of these stakeholders so that they can implement these practices and reduce the concerns of the stakeholders as much as they can.

The communication gap among patients and medical workers is one of the leading causes of drug mistakes. This study examines communication challenges in the healthcare setting and how better communication may help prevent prescription mistakes. In hospital settings, the necessity of strong communication strategies for optimal health and enhanced patient safety has been underlined. Poor communication is the leading cause of unpleasant effects, treatment delays, prescription mistakes, and surgery in the wrong location, according to this analysis. Language hurdles, communication medium, physical location, and social context are all key communication challenges in the healthcare sector. Because they perceive the style of conversation to be constantly professional, healthcare personnel tend to employ technical jargon in the workplace. It has been proven that understanding professional-patient communication is crucial to increasing therapeutic results. Patients want information and encouragement in terms of being able and encouraged to participate in medicinal therapy. Demanding and fostering an atmosphere where high-quality healthcare counseling is consistently conducted is the responsibility of health practitioners. Clinicians should stick to collaboration and excellent communication with patients to ensure safe and efficient treatment in hospitals and minimize pharmaceutical mistakes. Designing techniques such as efficient communication and collaboration among healthcare professionals, which can impact the efficiency of medical services and patient outcomes, is necessary.
