摘要
本研究描述了成人初级保健医疗助理(MA)人员配备的特点。研究分析了全国医疗保健组织和系统调查(n = 1,252)数据,以考察与每名初级保健临床医生(PCC)配备医疗助理相关的初级保健实践特征。2021 年,很少有医疗机构(11.4%)每名初级保健临床医生配备 2 名或更多的医疗助理。与系统所拥有的医疗机构相比,独立医疗机构(几率比 [OR] = 1.76,P P P
Primary Care Practice Characteristics Associated With Medical Assistant Staffing Ratios.
This study characterized adult primary care medical assistant (MA) staffing. National Survey of Healthcare Organizations and Systems (n = 1,252) data were analyzed to examine primary care practice characteristics associated with MA per primary care clinician (PCC) staffing ratios. In 2021, few practices (11.4%) had ratios of 2 or more MAs per PCCs. Compared with system-owned practices, independent (odds ratio [OR] = 1.76, P <0.05) and medical group-owned (OR = 2.09, P <0.05) practices were more likely to have ratios of 2 or more MAs per PCCs, as were practices with organizational cultures oriented to innovation (P <0.05). Most primary care practices do not have adequate MA staffing.
