The Triple Aim—enhancing patient experience, improving population health, and reducing costs—is widely accepted as a compass to optimize health system performance. Yet physicians and other members of the health care workforce report widespread burnout and dissatisfaction. Burnout is associated with lower patient satisfaction, reduced health outcomes, and it may increase costs. Burnout thus imperils the Triple Aim. This article recommends that the Triple Aim be expanded to a Quadruple Aim, adding the goal of improving the work life of health care providers, including clinicians and staff.

- Introducing Artificial Intelligence Training in Medical Education (2019, positive): “With the global health care expenditure projected to reach US $10 trillion by 2022, AI has the invaluable potential to advance the quadruple aim in health care—enhance the patient experience, improve population health, reduce costs, and improve the provider experience [115,116].”
- Executive Leadership and Physician Well‐being: Nine Organizational Strategies to Promote Engagement and Reduce Burnout (2017, background): “The fact that more than 50% of US physicians are now burned out underscores the need for a system-level strategy.(8,44,48,49) Herein we focus on organization-level strategies to reduce burnout and promote engagement.”
- Key challenges for delivering clinical impact with artificial intelligence (2019, background): “This promise has been welcomed as health-care systems globally struggle to deliver the ‘ quadruple aim ’ , namely improving experience of care, improving the health of populations, reducing per capita costs of health-care [3], and improving the work life of healthcare providers [4].”
