Abstract: 
Background: Burnout has been linked to patient outcomes, safety metrics, medical mistakes, communication, and adherence to practice standards, according to an increasing corpus of primary literature and systematic reviews. We conducted a comprehensive study to investigate the relationship between burnout and patient safety as well as treatment quality.
Method: We conducted a comprehensive review of the literature in order to generate summary estimates of the link between provider burnout and care quality. The PRISMA rules were followed. Between 2012 and 2021, we ran a language-free search across MEDLINE, Google Scholar, Web of Science and Embase.
Result and conclusion: Most of the data points to a connection between worse care quality and burnout among providers, which is in line with previous evaluations of different aspects. Work-life conflicts and a lack of staffing are two major causes of burnout among nurses. Enhancing hospital work environments might be a very inexpensive way to raise satisfaction of patient while also enhancing safety and hospital quality of care.
