Abstract:
Trust is considered a critical factor in the physician–patient relationship. However, little is known about the development and impact of physicians trusting their patients. A model that is premised on the integrated model of organizational trust was proposed in this article to reveal the cognitive processes involved in physicians’ trust, with perceived integrity and the ability of the patient as antecedents and the physicians’ communication efficacy as the outcome. A cross-sectional survey of 348 physicians in Zhejiang province, China, revealed that a physician’s trust in a patient mediated the relationship between the physicians’ perception of the integrity and ability of the patient, and the physician’s communication efficacy. The physicians’ educational backgrounds and work experience were also found to moderate an indirect effect: a lower level of education and longer work experience intensified the impact of the perceived integrity and ability of the patient on the physician’s trust, while shorter work experience made the association between the physician’s trust and communication efficacy more salient. This paper provided implications for both physician and patient sides.

Abstract:
Research has shown minorities receive lower quality health care than White persons even with socioeconomic conditions controlled. This difference may partially be related to racially biased attitudes and impaired communication in interracial relationships between physicians and patients. This study investigated the effect of physicians' race and nonverbal communication style on participants' evaluations. Patients at a local health clinic were participants ( N = 116: 84% Black, 16% White). Each participant viewed one of four videotapes showing varied race of a physician (Black or White) and the physician's nonverbal behavior (expressing concern or distance), and then completed a questionnaire evaluating the depicted physician. Overall, participants did not give significantly different preferences for physicians of the same race. However, participants' evaluations were significantly associated with physicians' nonverbal style. Nonverbal concern was associated with highest satisfaction, trust, self-disclosure, recall of information, likelihood of recommending the physician, and intent to comply with the physician's recommendations. When male and female participants were compared, preference for a physician of the same race was found only among male participants who viewed verbally distant physicians. Results suggest that social skills are more important than race in shaping patients' perceptions of physicians.

Abstract:
Objectives: Clinical empathy is an important predictor of patient outcomes. Several factors affect physician’s empathy and client perceptions. We aimed to assess the association between physician and client perception of clinical empathy, accounting for client, physician, and health system factors. Methods: We conducted a hospital-based cross-sectional study in 3 departments (family medicine, internal medicine, and surgery) of King Saud Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. We interviewed 30 physicians and 390 clients from 3 departments. Physicians completed the Jefferson Scale of Empathy (JSE) and the clients responded to the Jefferson Scale of Patient Perceptions of Physician Empathy (JSPPPE). We used a hierarchical multilevel generalized structural equation approach to model factors associated with JSE and JSPPPE and their inter-relationship. Results: Mean (SD) score of client-rated physician empathy was 26.6 (6) and that of physician self-rated was 111 (12.8). We found no association between the 2 ( b = 0.06; 95% confidence intervals CI: −0.1, 0.21), even after adjusting for client, physician, and health system factors. Physician's nationality (0.49; 0.12, 0.85), adequate consultation time (1.05; 0.72, 1.38), and trust (1.33; 0.9, 1.75) were positively associated whereas chronic disease (−0.32; −0.56, −0.07) and higher waiting times (−0.26; −0.47, −0.05) were negatively associated. Conclusion: A physician's self-assessed empathy does not correlate with clients’ perception. We recommend training and monitoring to enhance clinical empathy.

Abstract:
Background: Midlevel providers (eg, nurse practitioners and physician assistants) have been integrated into orthopaedic systems of care in response to the increasing demand for musculoskeletal care. Few studies have examined patient perspectives toward midlevel providers in orthopaedic sports medicine. Purpose: To identify perspectives of orthopaedic sports medicine patients regarding midlevel providers, including optimal scope of practice, reimbursement equity with physicians, and importance of the physician’s midlevel provider to patients when initially selecting a physician. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A total of 690 consecutive new patients of 3 orthopaedic sports medicine physicians were prospectively administered an anonymous questionnaire prior to their first visit. Content included patient perspectives regarding midlevel provider importance in physician selection, optimal scope of practice, and reimbursement equity with physicians. Results: Of the 690 consecutive patients who were administered the survey, 605 (87.7%) responded. Of these, 51.9% were men and 48.1% were women, with a mean age of 40.5 ± 15.7 years. More than half (51.2%) perceived no differences in training levels between physician assistants and nurse practitioners. A majority of patients (62.9%) reported that the physician’s midlevel provider is an important consideration when choosing a new orthopaedic sports medicine physician. Patients had specific preferences regarding which services should be physician provided. Patients also reported specific preferences regarding those services that could be midlevel provided. There lacked a consensus on reimbursement equity for midlevel practitioners and physicians, despite 71.7% of patients responding that the physician provides a higher-quality consultation. Conclusion: As health care becomes value driven and consumer-centric, understanding patient perspectives on midlevel providers will allow orthopaedic sports medicine physicians to optimize efficiency and patient satisfaction. Physicians may consider these data in clinical workforce planning, as patients preferred specific services to be physician or midlevel provided. It may be worthwhile to consider midlevel providers in marketing efforts, given that patients considered the credentials of the physician’s midlevel provider when initially selecting a new physician. Patients lacked consensus regarding reimbursement equity between physicians and midlevel providers, despite responding that the physician provides a higher-quality consultation. Our findings are important for understanding the midlevel workforce as it continues to grow in response to the increasing demand for orthopaedic sports care.

Abstract:
Physicians Prescription behavior is the results of 4P's namely Product, Physicians, Promotion, and Patient's expectation. In today's world of evidence-based medicine with ever-growing demand in patient expectations, physician- Patient-centric managing a pathological condition is gaining acceptance from the normal disease management approach. Like all citizenry is Unique; similarly, physicians also possess a singular personality that responds differently even to an equivalent stimulus. Aiming for better patient care and Patient expectations, research work across the world has been administered for identifying the perfect physician personality traits right from selection of specialty, knowledge dissemination during the study period, and managing patients during the Practice sessions. However, there's little, or no research conducted thus far, in understanding the "Physician's personality" make-up focussing on their motives, values, preferences in their professional practice. Understanding "physician's personality" traits will lay a robust foundation for developing effective medico-marketing initiatives from the pharmaceutical industry with the assistance of smart and customized marketing initiatives resulting in a healthy environment for physician-Pharma association towards adopting better therapeutic interventions for patient benefit. This review is an effort to specialize in the research work done thus far in understanding the impact of "physician's personality" aimed toward improving patient care. Further research in understanding "Physician's personality" and its role in physicians prescribing decisions will help the Pharma industry towards developing much needed medico-marketing initiatives with optimal utilization of resources towards disseminating the latest therapeutic interventions to the physicians for better patient care which is the stepping stone for Physician-patient centric management.

Abstract:
Purpose To describe hopeful and persuasive messages communicated by physicians during informed consent for phase I trials and examine whether such communication is associated with physician and parent ratings of the likelihood of benefit, physician and parent ratings of the strength of the physician's recommendation to enroll, parent ratings of control, and parent ratings of perceived pressure. Patients and Methods Participants were children with cancer (n = 85) who were offered a phase I trial along with their parents and physicians. Informed consent conferences (ICCs) were audiotaped and coded for physician communication of hope and persuasion. Parents completed an interview (n = 60), and physicians completed a case-specific questionnaire. Results The most frequent hopeful statements related to expectations of positive outcomes and provision of options. Physicians failed to mention no treatment and/or palliative care as options in 68% of ICCs and that the disease was incurable in 85% of ICCs. When physicians mentioned no treatment and/or palliative care as options, both physicians and parents rated the physician's strength of recommendation to enroll in the trial lower. Conclusion Hopes and goals other than cure or longer life were infrequently mentioned, and a minority of physicians communicated that the disease was incurable and that no treatment and/or palliative care were options. These findings are of concern, given the low likelihood of medical benefit from phase I trials. Physicians have an important role to play in helping families develop alternative goals when no curative options remain.

Abstract:
Background Physician's estimates of a patient's prognosis are an important component in shared decision-making. However, the variables influencing physician's judgments are not well understood. We aimed to determine which physician and patient factors are associated with physicians' predictions of critically ill patients' six-month mortality and the accuracy and confidence of these predictions. Methods Prospective cohort study evaluating physicians' predictions of six-month mortality. Using univariate and multivariable generalized estimating equations, we assessed the association between baseline physician and patient characteristics with predictions of six-month death, as well as accuracy and confidence of these predictions. Results Our cohort was comprised 300 patients and 47 physicians. Physicians were asked to predict if patients would be alive or dead at six months and to report their confidence in these predictions. Physicians predicted that 99 (33%) patients would die. The key factors associated with both the direction and accuracy of prediction were older age of the patient, the presence of malignancy, being in a medical ICU, and higher APACHE III scores. The factors associated with lower confidence included older physician age, being in a medical ICU and higher APACHE III score. Conclusions Patient level factors are associated with predictions of mortality at six months. The accuracy and confidence of the predictions are associated with both physician and patients' factors. The influence of these factors should be considered when physicians reflect on how they make predictions for critically ill patients.

Abstract:
A survey of the recent literature suggests that physicians should engage religious patients on religious grounds when the patient cites religious considerations for a medical decision. We offer two arguments that physicians ought to avoid engaging patients in this manner. The first is the Public Reason Argument. We explain why physicians are relevantly akin to public officials. This suggests that it is not the physician’s proper role to engage in religious deliberation. This is because the public character of a physician’s role binds him/her to public reason, which precludes the use of religious considerations. The second argument is the Fiduciary Argument. We show that the patient-physician relationship is a fiduciary relationship, which suggests that the patient has the clinical expectation that physicians limit themselves to medical considerations. Since engaging in religious deliberations lies outside this set of considerations, such engagement undermines trust and therefore damages the patient-physician relationship.

Abstract:
Experience in private pediatric practice is used to illustrate some potential advantages and disadvantages to patients and physicians of drug dispensing by physicians. Projections were based on the prescribing trends in the practice, the extent of patients' insurance reimbursement for prescriptions, the laws regarding dispensing, and the costs incurred when physicians purchase selected medications from a repackager or when patients procure them at a community pharmacy. Patients without insurance for prescriptions can potentially save money by purchasing medication at the physician's office but, in general, only if the physician's dispensing fee is minimal. Potential profits to physicians would be cut by an estimated 50% because of third-party enrollees choosing to have prescriptions filled at a pharmacy because of cost savings. Net profits are further reduced and may even be eliminated when the cost of physician and staff time to prepare, label, reorder, and maintain necessary records regarding dispensed medication are considered. Although it may be convenient for the patient to obtain initial supplies of medication at the time of an office visit, obtaining refills may be less convenient. The time and paperwork involved in dispensing by a physician cannot be considered as minimal interruptions in normal office procedure. The broad, attractive claims made in support of physician dispensing by physicians clearly overstate the benefits both to patients and to physicians.

Abstract:
Physician burnout is a universal dilemma that is seen in healthcare professionals, particularly physicians, and is characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a feeling of low personal accomplishment. In this review, we discuss the contributing factors leading to physician burnout and its consequences for the physician’s health, patient outcomes, and the healthcare system. Physicians face daily challenges in providing care to their patients, and burnout may be from increased stress levels in overworked physicians. Additionally, the healthcare system mandates physicians to keep a meticulous record of their physician-patient encounters along with clerical responsibilities. Physicians are not well-trained in managing clerical duties, and this might shift their focus from solely caring for their patients. This can be addressed by the systematic application of evidence-based interventions, including but not limited to group interventions, mindfulness training, assertiveness training, facilitated discussion groups, and promoting a healthy work environment.

Abstract:
In the recent past, physicians found answers to questions by consulting colleagues, textbooks, and professional journals. Now, the availability of medical information through electronic resources has changed physician information-seeking behaviors. Evidence-based medicine is now the accepted decision-making paradigm, and a physician's ability to locate best practice guidelines through electronic information resources has become an essential skill. As physicians struggle to stay current in the wake of an ever-growing volume of medical information, several electronic resources claim to provide one-stop access to the most current information with correct and complete answers to problems encountered in the practice of health care. The complexity of medical information, however, prevents one resource from meeting all of a physician's information needs. The research described here sought to identify which resources physicians used to find answers for a particular area of inquiry, identify the appropriateness of their resource selection, and compare the choices with their satisfaction with their results. A questionnaire was e-mailed to a randomized group of family practice physicians asking them to indicate which resources they use to answer questions that arise within their professional practice. Physicians were also asked to rate the attributes of these resources. Their responses revealed that physicians do not always select the correct resource and are not necessarily confident even when they do select the correct resource. Physicians did not demonstrate a global overview of the strengths and weaknesses of information resources, but rather, consistently chose the same resources in approximately the same order regardless of the information they were seeking. The results of this study indicate that physicians do not understand the scope and capabilities of the resources they are using. This research has produced recommended guidelines to provide health information professionals with a course of action to restructure physician training. These guidelines cover such concepts as vetting a resource, selecting the correct resource for a topic of interest, when to partner with an information professional, an overview of the resources their patients may be using, and a synopsis of other features to support information literacy.

Abstract:
Understanding physician well-being may help prevent physician burnout, improve the quality of care they provide to their patients, reduce medical errors, and improve patient satisfaction. Using the biopsychosocial-spiritual theory as the conceptual framework, this quantitative study examined the relationship between: (a) physician well-being and patient satisfaction, (b) physician gender and physician well-being, (c) primary care providers' and specialists' well-being, (d) patient satisfaction based on physician specialty, and (e) the duration of practice and physician well-being. All of the 87 employed physicians in a Florida regional hospital were invited to respond to a physician well-being questionnaire; a response rate of 58.4% was achieved. Patient satisfaction information was obtained through archived data of 4,500 patient surveys. Data were analyzed utilizing linear regression to examine the relationship between patient satisfaction and duration of physicians' practice, with the dependent variable, physician well-being. Two logistic regression analyses were utilized to examine (a) differences between physician well-being, gender, and specialty; and (b) differences between patient satisfaction and physician specialty. There were no significant relationships evident; however, it was speculated that the nonsignificance may be due to the small available sample of physicians. Future research on physician well-being may use the current findings to refine the conceptual framework and increase the understanding of how physician well-being can prevent physician burnout, improve the quality of care they provide to their patients, reduce medical errors, and improve patient satisfaction. Future research in this area will have the potential to increase the quality of patient care that will address positive social change.

This bounded case study explored ten purposefully selected physician participants’ perceptions of the effectiveness of an eight session, two year in-house physician leadership development program at a major Academic Medical Center (AMC) in the Midwest. While physicians are generally educated to care for patients in their specialty area, reforms necessitate the need for physician leadership involvement in metric tracking by healthcare organizations in order to provide a focus on quality patient care and safety. Participants indicated finding the course effective, especially the negotiations and finance modules. These modules provided new language, a better understanding of processes and an opportunity to develop skills through interactive class exercises such as case studies. Participants described an increased self-awareness of their interpersonal skills and expressed a desire for greater exposure to emotional intelligence principles. Participants experienced a transformational shift in how they constructed their identity as a physicians and leaders, and questioned assumptions about the physician’s role in healthcare. While effective in initiating a process of exploration, this course was not sufficient to meet the goals and objectives of the program. Therefore, recommendations for the advanced course included a focus on leadership competencies identified by Dye and Garman (2006) as cited by Dye and Sokolov (2013), emotional intelligence, and transformational leadership.

Abstract:
This research study explores in general the nature of a private general medical practice [PGMP] and whether analysis of the PGMP as a social system can lead the Group Dynamics Practitioner towards developing interventions that will enhance group effectiveness in the PGMP support staff group. The main assumption is that, through the application of a framework of analysis based on that of G. C. Homans and the AGIL functional prerequisites developed by T. Parsons, a structured analysis of the external and internal variables that impact on the PGMP as a social system can be undertaken. The findings of the analysis would lead to the formulation of interventions that would improve the performance effectiveness of the PGMP as a social system. Following a two-questionnaire survey of 17 practices that provided demographic information as well as soft skills training needs, a single PGMP was identified for the case study. Data pertaining to the group as a social system were collected, and by using direct observation, content analysis and a sociometric test, the practice support staff sub-system, being the main focus of this research, could be analysed. By linking the findings to the elements of the framework of analysis, areas of ineffective group functioning could be identified and interventions suggested. This research indicates that the choice of soft skills is associated with the nature and size of the practice, as well as the dynamics of the sociometric patterns characteristic of the relations within the practice support staff subsystem; that while some practice support staff have preferences for sociometric task and socio-emotional relations outside their work clusters, these seem to serve as a buffer against clique forming, thus enhancing the function of integration within the social system as a whole; and that the physical practice layout, and the interaction dynamics that it creates, tend to hinder integration between the members of the practice support staff group, as a social subsystem.

Abstract:
Recruiting and retaining physicians to work in rural emergency departments (EDs) have reached a crisis level, threatening the availability of services to rural residents. In this study, a case study design was used to explore strategies that rural ED administrators use to recruit and retain physicians to work in their facilities. The study population consisted of 5 rural hospital administrators operating EDs in central Mississippi. These administrators were charged with the responsibility to recruit and retain ED physicians. The on-going staffing of ED physicians, with no lapses in coverage, was evidence that these administrators successfully recruited and retained ED physicians at their facilities. The conceptual framework that grounded this study was strategic human resource management. Semistructured interviews were used to collect data from participants, and the modified van Kaam method of data analysis was used to create and cluster themes, validate data, and to construct and describe textural meaning. One of the dominate themes that emerged from the study was the challenge of maintaining rural ED physician coverage. Deterrents to maintaining ED coverage included insufficient pools of available physicians, changing technological demands, and financial constraints. A second dominate theme permeating the study was the insufficient focus on retention of rural ED physicians. Study findings may contribute to social change by providing a replicable recruitment and retention model for recruiting and retaining rural ED physicians. The most successful strategies to recruit and retain ED physicians, as identified in this study, were provision of financial incentives and development of a sense of family and community.

Abstract:
Industry-physician relationships have been widely reported throughout the medical device community. However, there is limited research that describes how device developers effectively interact with physicians throughout the development of new medical products. There is also limited research regarding how the process of physician-developer interaction influences the clinical and financial outcomes of early stage companies. Knowledge of such interaction is particularly relevant to the large and growing number of complex and high-risk medical devices, in which physicians are the primary end users and patients are the recipients of care.

Full text
Abstract:
To assist healthcare providers in the management of autism symptoms, a new smartphone application was developed that now allows physicians to observe patient behaviors between office visits, and allows physicians to manage a patient’s medication based on the severity and dynamics of the symptoms observed. A technology evaluation was conducted to determine ease of use of the smartphone application by two physicians and three caregivers of autism patients. The results showed that the new smartphone application is able to assist the physician in monitoring patients with an autism spectrum disorder more accurately than when using subjective reports provided by caregivers during office visits. The smartphone application technology demonstrated a potential new way to help both caregivers and physicians in improving medication management for children with autism.

Abstract:
Health care delivery requires a sufficient number of manpower. It is recognized that the shortage of health workforce is the most important issue for the health sector. Health manpower distribution should be in a balanced across the country. National human resources for health policies require evidence-based planning. Health manpower planning involves issues such as planning, employment and management of workforce. The main objectives of this study are determine physician numbers, compare the data to OECD and other countries, distribution of physicians, proportion of health employees to each other. The main criteria used in health manpower planning are that the numerical situation of manpower, while the other is distinguishes of manpower according to the regions, provinces and institutions. The Ministry of Health of Turkey Health Statistics Year Books (last one published in 2013 for 2012 data) and the other statistics were used for obtaining data. In Turkey, physicians total has increased by 41,1%, in this period. Specialist physician increased by 54, 2%, general practitioner 25, 8%, medical residents 33, 4%. In 2002, 62, 4% of physicians total were working in the Ministry of Health while 21.9% universities, 15.7% private sector. In 2012, 56.8% of physicians total were working in the Ministry of Health, 20.8% universities, 22.4% private sector. In 2002, Turkey had 139 physicians per 100.000 populations while the number is 172, in 2012. According to the tenth five-year development plan, the number of physicians per 100.000 people are estimated to be 176 for 2013, while 193 for 2018.

Abstract:
Clinical reasoning refers to the cognitive process that physicians employ in evaluating and managing patients. This process typically involves suggesting necessary examinations, diagnosing patients’ diseases, and selecting appropriate therapies, etc. Accurate clinical reasoning requires extensive medical knowledge and rich clinical experience, setting a high bar for physicians. This is particularly challenging in developing countries due to the overwhelming number of patients and limited physician resources, contributing significantly to global health inequity and necessitating automated clinical reasoning approaches. Recently, the emergence of large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and GPT-4 have demonstrated their potential in clinical reasoning. However, these LLMs are prone to hallucination problems, and the reasoning process of LLMs may not align with the clinical decision pathways of physicians. In this study, we introduce a novel framework, In-Context Padding (ICP), to enhance LLMs reasoning with medical knowledge. Specifically, we infer critical clinical reasoning elements (referred to as knowledge seeds) and use these as anchors to guide the generation process of LLMs. Experiments on two clinical question datasets validate that ICP significantly improves the clinical reasoning ability of LLMs.

Steuart, Shelby. "Do Cannabis PDMPs Change Physician Prescribing Behavior?" In 2022 Annual Scientific Meeting of the Research Society on Marijuana. Research Society on Marijuana, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.26828/cannabis.2022.02.000.42.

Full text
Abstract:
As legal medical cannabis has become widespread in the United States, cannabis-related emergency department visits have increased. One reason for this increase is that physicians cannot prescribe medical cannabis, leading to a situation where physicians must rely on their patients to tell them whether they use medical cannabis. Patients may withhold their use of cannabis from their physician out of fear of judgment or fear of changes to their prescriptions. At the same time, almost 400 medications have moderate or severe contraindications for use with cannabis, any of which could cause a poisoning severe enough to warrant hospitalization. To combat this problem of information asymmetry in patient cannabis use, about one-third of states with medical cannabis programs have added cannabis to their state Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) over the past few years. This could lead to changes in the physician prescribing behavior, which may result in fewer accidental cannabis-related poisonings. I will explore this question through the application of robust difference-in-difference models to private and public insurance claims data as well as data from Electronic Medical Records.

Full text
Abstract:
Using the ecological interface design approach, a graphical user interface was developed to show how different factors (e.g., LDL, HDL, triglycerides, systolic blood pressure) contribute to cardiac health. The display is based on an epidemiological model derived from the Framingham study and additional treatment guidelines in the medical literature. This interactive display allows physicians and patients to see how different factors contribute to overall cardiac health and to see the impact of interventions on reducing risk. The display also graphically associates the state of the patient with treatment categories to help physicians to select the best treatment method based on empirical models. It also has the potential to enrich the dialogue between physician and patient through interactive ‘experiments’ that illustrate the potential benefits of various treatment options.

Abstract:
Anesthesiologists and intensive care physicians, performing their professional duties in tense and often extreme conditions of work (with risks to life and health), can be assigned to the risk group for various negative mental states. The professional activities of an anesthesiologists impose significant requirements on their personality. In order to identify and describe the characteristics the mental states of anesthesiologists and intensive care specialists, 49 physicians of the Arkhangelsk region were examined (average age 34.6 ± 13.6 years). The study used questionnaires, psychological testing (McLin’s scale of organizational stress, methodology for determining the dominant state by L. V. Kulikov, multi-level personality questionnaire «Adaptability» (MLO-AM) by A. G. Maklakov and S. V. Chermyanin, the questionnaire «Attitude to work and professional burnout» by V. A. Vinokur, the Lusher color test, the questionnaire by Ch.D. Spilberger — Yu.A. Khaninand) and statistical processing of empirical results. It has been established that in the course of fulfilling their professional duties, more than 79.6 % of anesthesiologists and intensive care physician often encounter stressful situations; every third specialist is at risk of life or danger of injury, injury during work. More than half of the respondents have a high level of organizational stress, 67.3 % have a burnout syndrome, 35.3 % are characterized by fatigue, lack of mood, lethargy, inertia, low working capacity, and 1/3 have a high rate of situational anxiety. 1/2 of anesthesiologists and intensive care physicians have reduced level of adaptive abilities, asthenic are expressed in 14.2 %, and psychotic reactions and conditions — in 24.4 %. The article offers recommendations for the prevention of negative mental states of anesthesiologists and intensive care physicians.

Full text
Abstract:
In an extremely challenging healthcare environment, the expertise and perspective of physician leaders are needed more than ever. The benefits and value of physician leadership have been well-proven during the past few decades. Evidence shows that physician-led hospitals outperform other hospitals, and effective physician leaders are associated with better well-being in the physicians they supervise. Non-physician healthcare executives have welcomed physician leaders into their ranks, and top-performing organizations recognize the need for more physician leaders. Insufficient leadership development may limit the effectiveness of individual physician leaders and the number of physicians who successfully rise into formal leadership positions. Physicians practicing and contributing administratively as informal leaders across a variety of environments will also benefit from the opportunity to develop similar skill sets. Healthcare organizations and physician practices should prioritize physician leadership development to ensure a pipeline of leaders to tackle the ongoing challenges they face.

Full text
Abstract:
Identifying the impact of physicians on health outcomes is a challenging task due to the nonrandom sorting between physicians, hospitals, and patients. We overcome this challenge by exploiting a Colombian government program that randomly assigned 2,126 physicians to 618 small hospitals. We estimate the impact on the 256,806 children whose mothers received care in those hospitals during their pregnancy, using administrative data from the program, hospitals’ vital statistics records, and physicians’ records from mandatory health-specific graduation exams. We find that more-skilled physicians improve health at birth outcomes. That is, being assigned a physician with a one standard deviation higher performance in the health graduation exam scores decreases the probability of giving birth to an unhealthy baby by 6.31 percent. We present evidence that an underlying mechanism includes improving the targeting of care toward the more vulnerable mothers.
