Is Less or More Planned in 2019?
[By Staff Reporters]
A survey in 2011 suggested that more than 40% of the country’s doctors are doing less pro-bono work due to managed care, and the resulting decrease in personal income. Today, some pundits wonder if the exacerbated cause was the ACA?
AAFP Intervenes
To combat this unintended economic phenomenon today, the organization Volunteers in Healthcare – now with the American Academy of Family Physicians – offers a free information patient record system to track the medical care given to the uninsured. The system allows physicians to track and store information on patients, visits, providers, clinics, referrals and more. It is guide-driven with sample reports that can be reconstituted to provide summary statistics on patients and providers.
