U.S. Primary Care Provider Needs: An Analysis of Workforce Projections and Policy Implications
Policy Polit Nurs Pract. 2023 Aug 21:15271544231190606. doi: 10.1177/15271544231190606. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe primary care (PC) physician workforce has consistently been projected as requiring additional numbers to meet the needs of the U.S. The Health Resources and Service Administration (HRSA) has reported the PC nurse practitioner (NP) workforce to be 90,000 NPs more than required to meet the PC needs of the U.S. With both clinician types contributing to the PC workforce in the country, it is difficult to understand such an oversupply of NPs with continued deficit in PC physicians. The purpose of this study ...

An analysis of community-level socioeconomic status effects on pricing transparency and variability of hand surgery procedures
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that considerable pricing variation and incomplete transparency exists for CPT codes 64721, 26615, and 25111 among AAMC-affiliated hospitals. Patients in lower-income and higher-percentage uninsured areas are more exposed to a higher variability and average of negotiated prices than those in higher-income areas, which may translate to higher out-of-pocket costs for those with higher coinsurance and less socioeconomic prowess.PMID:37585873 | DOI:10.1097/PRS.0000000000010990 (Source: Hand Surgery)

New university science building squeezes labs and jeopardizes research, some say
The new Pride Hall
building
at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), is meant to provide a safer, more modern research environment, but it has instead become a source of frustration for many of the school’s scientists. They say the space cannot support even one-third of the 880 employees expected to move there,
and some of the affected lab heads are
finding themselves forced to
contemplate
lay
ing
off staff, forfeit
ing
research grants, or leav
ing
the university altogether.

PCP Shortage Affects Hospitalists; What are the Options?
With worsening doctor shortages expected in many areas of medicine, including hospital medicine, the expected shortfall in primary care doctors is particularly sobering. A 2021 report from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) estimated that by 2034 the U.S. will have a shortage of between 18,000 and 48,000 primary care physicians (PCPs), with a shortage of non-primary care specialists between 21,000 and 77,000.1

Telehealth Use and Access to Care for Underserved Populations Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic
J Health Care Poor Underserved. 2023;34(1):132-145. doi: 10.1353/hpu.2023.0009.ABSTRACTWhile several studies have documented the rapid growth in telehealth visits during the pandemic, none have examined its relationship with greater overall access to care among vulnerable populations. We use Association of American Medical Colleges' Consumer Survey data to examine the relationship between access to care and telehealth use before and during the pandemic. The proportion of survey respondents who were always able to get medical care when needed was slightly lower in 2020 compared with prior years while telehealth use rose dra...
