For the 2011 survey, 80 medical organizations responded, representing 14,366 physicians. Other key findings include:
• No groups reported plans to reduce their PCP workforce, and hiring plans for specialists were only “slightly less aggressive” than those for PCPs.
• Male physicians nearing retirement and female physicians entering the workforce — the two fastest growing populations of physicians — were most likely to look for part-time and flexible scheduling options.
• 67 percent of respondents said the involvement of advanced practitioners in their groups had “somewhat” or “significantly” grown in the past five years.
• Nearly half of respondents said PCPs are incented “somewhat more” or “significantly more” for both quality (52 percent) and satisfaction (50 percent) than they were five years ago.
