Embracing risk-based care models could ultimately lead to better physician job satisfaction by creating stronger incentives for health systems to free them from low-value administrative tasks, according to Tufts Medicine CEO Michael Dandorph.

“One of the reasons we want to take on more risk is so we can avoid some of those administrative burdens and not replace them with something else, but truly eliminate the need for things that just really aren’t improving the level of care, the cost of care or access,” Mr. Dandorph told Becker’s.

In a recent interview, Mr. Dandorph discussed the Burlington, Mass.-based system’s approach to engage physicians in strategic decisions and relieve administrative burdens.
