Physician Practice Trends Survey 2012

Between March and June 2012, Jackson Healthcare conducted a series of online physician surveys that included all medical specialities. This is the first of a multi-year survey to track physicians' work patterns and plans in the era of health reform. The survey consisted of six areas of focus: Patient Capacity for Medical Practice; Access for Medicaid and Medicare Patients; Current Practice Environment; Accountable Care Organization/Medical Home Participation; Use of Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants; and Current Retirement Plans.
