An excert from The Doctors Company’s YouTube Channel
Health care reform, which is expected to result in 32 million newly insured, may exacerbate a looming physician shortage.
In this survey, one of the largest on this topic to date, 43 percent of physician respondents said they are likely to retire in the next five years. Doctors who remain in practice will have to see more patients, making it nearly impossible to maintain or improve the quality of patient outcomes.
Other key findings from survey respondents:
• Doctors still believe that tort reform is the primary solution to the problem of defensive medicine.
• Sixty-five percent of doctors do not believe that health care reform will reduce the practice of defensive medicine.
• More than half of doctors think that increased bureaucracy will reduce their interaction with patients and negatively affect the doctor-patient relationship.
• Doctors in private practice expressed concern about competing with large integrated delivery systems.
• Doctors remain unsure about how Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) will work and what the payment models will look like—29 percent have no plans to participate in an ACO.
