Addressing the Primary Care Shortage: How QHSLab Empowers Physicians
In a recent segment on NBC Nightly News, the looming primary care shortage in the United States took center stage. The statistics are alarming, with estimates projecting a shortage of up to 48,000 primary care physicians by 2034. This scarcity already impacts patients, as evidenced by one individual's struggle to find a primary care physician accepting new patients, leaving her cardiologist to fill the healthcare gaps. To understand the root causes of this crisis, experts like Jesse M. Ehrenfeld, MD, MPH, Co-Chair of the American Medical Association, pointed out that it's not the lack of physicians but rather the number of physicians coming up through the ranks of medical school and residency, an aging population, and increased demand for primary care exacerbating the situation.
The Challenges Facing Primary Care:
The challenges primary care physicians face extend beyond just the shortage. These healthcare professionals shoulder an average of $200,000 in medical school debt and are often overwhelmed by patient demand, leading to physician burnout. In these trying times, they need practical tools and support to continue delivering quality patient care while maintaining their practices with a growing revenue source.
