Our Latest Blog: Allied Health Roles & the Primary Care Doctor Shortage
The U.S. should expect a shortage of 64,000 physicians by year-end with the deficit growing to 86,000 by 2036, according to a McKinsey & Company Report.? One third- of Americans lack access to primary care.? These factoids headlined the recent California Healthcare Foundation panel that I participated on entitled “The Future of Primary Care.”? Facilitated by Dr. Alan Glaseroff (Stanford Clinical Research Center of Excellence), I joined Dr. Megan Mahoney (UCSF Health) and Dr. Jay Lee (Integrated Health Partners of Southern California) to examine the implications of providing care when there are not enough primary care doctors to go around.? All fingers point to a future where the approach shifts to a primary care team-based approach.? No longer will the patient assume that every visit with the “doctor’s office” includes seeing the same primary care doctor; you may instead see members of an integrated care team that involves primary care, specialty care, and social services staff.? For allied health level roles, this may include the medical assistant, the community health workers, and more…it just depends.
This future of physician scarcity and dependency on a team to provision care is exciting to Futuro Health. Read The Complete Blog Here
