Introduction

In recent years, many doctors have been giving up their private practices in order to work for hospitals or large health corporations. Say’s  Dr.John Manzella, this trend is largely due to the fact that overworked physicians are seeing fewer patients and making less money. However, there are other factors at play as well: insurance companies and government regulations have both been placing increasing pressure on doctors to see more patients in a shorter period of time.

Doctors and research in healthcare

Doctors should be allowed to do research in their own time.

This is a very important topic and though it may not be relevant to your life right now, the way we treat doctors and researchers has some serious implications on all of our futures.

Over the past few years, many doctors have been giving up their private practices in order to work for hospitals or large health corporations.

Over the past few years, many doctors have been giving up their private practices in order to work for hospitals or large health corporations. The reason behind this is simple: hospitals and health corporations are paying their doctors more money, offering them better benefits and providing a greater variety of services than ever before.

One example of these changes can be seen at Dr. Smith’s office in Los Angeles, which has recently become part of a larger medical center run by Dr. Johnson’s practice. “We’re really excited about joining forces with other professionals,” said Dr. Smith as he was being interviewed outside his new office building on Wilshire Boulevard. “Our patients will benefit from having access to specialists we never had before.”

And this is just one of the many burdensome policies that have been implemented in recent years.

It’s hard to believe that in just the last few years, doctors have been asked to:

  • increase the number of patients they see per day from eight to ten.
  • increase the number of patients they see per week from forty-eight to fifty-five.
  • increase the number of patients they see per month from 240 to 275.

The biggest reason for this shift, however, has to do with the increasing pressure being placed on hospitals and doctors by insurance companies and government regulations to see more patients in a shorter period of time.

But it’s not just the increasing pressure being placed on hospitals and doctors by insurance companies and government regulations to see more patients in a shorter period of time.

Conclusion

In the end, these changes have resulted in a more competitive environment for doctors and researchers alike, which can only be good for patients. While it may seem like an uphill battle at times, we’re confident that all of us will continue to improve our practices and find new ways to deliver better care.
