SDOH Challenges Cause Physicians Stress

A recent Physicians Foundation survey that asked questions relating to whether Social Determinants of Health [SDOH] challenges cause them to experience stress or frustration.

CITE: https://www.r2library.com/Resource/Title/082610254

The survey found:

 •  71% Identified limited time during patient visit to discuss SDOH
 •  64% Identified insufficient workforce to navigate patients to community resources to address SDOH
 •  63% Identified existing payer reporting requirements taking time away from being able to address patients’ SDOH
 •  57% Identified lack of reimbursement for screening for or addressing SDOH
 •  57% Identified community resources unavailable, inadequate or difficult to access.

Is Primary Care Medicine Toxic?

Join Our Mailing List

Requesting Real-Life Examples of Professional Despair

By Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA CMP™

www.BusinessofMedicalPractice.com

[Editor-in-Chief]

As you’ve probably heard – and experienced or know from our books, journal and this ME-P – there’s a primary care medical shortage out-there!  Maybe you’ve even read or heard about the Physician’s Foundation study describing the overwhelming number of PCPs who want out of this toxic environment. On one hand, we have patients desperately searching for a PCP, while on the other hand we have good caring doctors being forced out of the profession. Of course, NPs, ANPs, DNPs and other ancillaries are part of the solution; but not entirely.

Link: http://www.physiciansfoundation.org/

Human Anguish

And humanely, as stated by our medical colleague L. Gordon Moore MD, these statistics miss the very real pain and anguish of people who entered primary care to help patients when they find the environment for primary care toxic to the ethical practice of medicine. Even to the point of suicide!

Assessment

These voices need to be heard. And so, we are asking doctors and providers of all stripes to post in the comments section below personal examples of medical practitioners leaving primary, solo or small group practice because they just can’t stand the toxic environment any longer.
