43 PRACTICE MANAGEMENT Newsweek's top orthopedic hospitals in the US By Carly Behm N ewsweek ranked the best hospitals worldwide across five specialties in its "World's Best Specialized Hospitals 2021" list. Newsweek partnered with Statista to form the rankings. They surveyed tens of thousands of medical professionals in two waves. The data was analyzed to create an overall reputation score for the hospitals. Here are the top 10 U.S. orthopedic hospitals: 1. New York City-based Hospital for Special Surgery 2. Rochester, Minn.-based Mayo Clinic 3. Baltimore-based The Johns Hopkins Hospital 4. Boston-based Massachusetts General Hospital 5. Chicago-based Northwestern Memorial Hospital 6. Boston-based Brigham and Women's Hospital 7. New York City-based NYU Langone Hospitals 8. Cleveland Clinic 9. Philadelphia-based Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals 10. St. Louis-based Barnes-Jewish Hospital n How the pandemic affected orthopedist happiness & burnout: Medscape By Eric Oliver T he COVID-19 pandemic affect- ed physicians in a number of ways, according to Medscape's "Orthopedist Burnout & Happiness Report 2021." Medscape surveyed 12,339 physicians in more than 29 specialties from Aug. 30, 2020, through Nov. 5, 2020. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, burnout fig- ures remained relatively stable, but the pandemic did affect some specialties more than others. Here are five insights related to ortho- pedist happiness and physician burn- out: 1. Eighty-six percent of orthopedists said they were happiest outside of work before the pandemic. The pan- demic changed that, and now only 66 percent of orthopedists said they were happiest outside of work. 2. Eighteen percent of orthopedists said they were burned out, 3 percent said they were depressed, and 16 per- cent said they were both burned out and depressed. Yet, 64 percent said they were neither burned out nor de- pressed. 3. Fifty percent of orthopedists said burnout had a strong effect on their life. 4. Despite the pandemic elevating sev- eral trends, 88 percent of orthopedists said their burnout started before the COVID-19 pandemic. 5. Five elements contributed to burn- out more than anything else: too many bureaucratic tasks (62 percent), lack of respect from administrators/employers and colleagues or staff (37 percent), insufficient compensation (37 percent), spending too many hours at work (31 percent) and lack of control/autonomy (30 percent). n 16 of the largest orthopedic practices in the US Alan Condon S ixteen of the largest orthopedic practices in the U.S., ranked by the number of physicians on staff. 1.
