Evidence Snapshot — The Problem EVM Helps Address
-
Burnout among clinicians is common.
Recent physician surveys report around ~49% of physicians indicating burnout (Medscape and similar surveys), with many clinicians reporting prolonged symptoms and some considering leaving clinical practice. High rates are reported across multiple specialties and settings.
-
Workforce instability is increasing.
A 2025 survey reported ~55% of U.S. healthcare workers planning to change jobs within a year, citing burnout, lack of appreciation, and limited career support as top drivers — a trend that threatens system capacity and amplifies stress for remaining staff.
-
Global gaps in healthcare access are vast.
More than 4.5 billion people globally are not fully covered by essential health services (Universal Health Coverage gap), and billions face catastrophic or impoverishing health costs. This ongoing global inequity means mission work — when coordinated with local systems — can help meet urgent needs while strengthening local capacity.
