Evolving Practice of Rural Primary Care Physicians
This project will monitor the changing practice of medicine by rural primary care physicians.
It is a follow-up effort to collect detailed information on a random sample of rural primary care physicians (approximately 1,000 family physicians, general practitioners, general internists) who are participating in a National Rural Physician Panel. Surveys of the National Rural Physician Panel participants will collect information on practice organization, ownership, and affiliations; scope of services offered and the use of technology; referral patterns and specialty outreach relationships; factors affecting MD retention; level and types of risk-bearing; use of care management tools including clinical protocols; and quality assessment and quality improvement strategies.
