From age 15 to 64 years, women have consistently higher PCV utilization when compared against men. In particular, the preventive care visit utilization for females aged 18-24 (41%), 25-39 (47%), 40-54 (53%) and 55-64 (52%) years were higher than for males in those age groups (18%, 21%, 30%, 37%, respectively).

The use of the electronic health record (EHR) has led to physician dissatisfaction, physician burnout, and delays in documentation and billing. Medical scribes can mitigate these unintended consequences by reducing documentation workload and increasing efficiency.
Scribe research has been focused on productivity, patient/provider satisfaction, and work-flow in the emergency or subspecialty settings. This study demonstrates a reduction in quantitative electronic health record documentation time and clinician perception of documentation time in the outpatient primary care academic setting.
This study was conducted at a large academic pediatric primary care practice in central Pennsylvania that conducts ~40,000 outpatient visits per year.
Particular EHR data parameters selected were discussed with the EHR vendor (“Time data analysis” U.S. Patent number: 10339607), and agreed upon among the study team to examine provider-relevant EHR time as per the aims of the study.
All variables were summarized prior to any analysis with mean, standard deviations, and medians or frequencies and percentages to examine their distributions. Continuous variables were also assessed with histograms and normal probability plots to further assess their distribution.
We had 6 participating clinicians, including 5 physicians and 1 nurse practitioner. Half (50%) of the participants had brief experiences working with a scribe prior to this pilot study; their time in practice ranged from 4 to 25 years; and 50% were women. Figure delineates the participant flow diagram throughout the study period.
This study supports our study hypothesis that a scribe intervention decreases actual time spent in the EHR outside of clinic hours and overall, as well as clinician perception of time spent in the EHR. In both quantitative measurement and qualitative estimates, average documentation times improved for our pediatric providers.
The number of graduates from primary care residency training programs peaked in the late 1990s and subsequently declined for the next decade (Figure 4). There appears to be a growth in the number of graduates in recent years, though there is a long lag period after
In 2019, there were more than 228,000 direct patient care physicians in the five major primary care specialties (Table 1). The major specialty of primary care is family medicine, accounting for nearly 40 percent of the total primary care physician workforce, followed by general internal medicine and general pediatrics. The number of geriatricians is relatively small. Primary care physicians make up less than one-third of the physicians who spend most of their time caring for patients.28
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) Downloadable File (2008-Present) is a freely available public data set that contains rich information on health care providers, including the National Provider Identifier (NPI), practice address, and practice arrangements.10 The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) mandated that the required identifier for Medicare services, the unique provider identification number (UPIN), be replaced by the NPI. Other payers, including commercial health care insurers, also use the NPI. The NPI is a 10-position, intelligence-free numeric identifier (10-digit number). In October 2006, CMS began issuing NPIs. By May 23, 2007, all HIPAA covered entities, such as providers completing electronic transactions, health care clearinghouses, and large health plans, were required to use only the NPI to identify covered health care providers. One of the advantages of the NPPES data is that it is not restricted to physicians, permitting an analysis of nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), and certified nurse midwives. The NPPES data also contain more precise physician address information than the AMA Physician Masterfile data. A drawback of the NPPES data is the lack of an indicator for currently active providers. Although the NPPES data identifies NPs and PAs, the data does not include a clear identifier of NPs and PAs who provide primary care. Address information can be used to create an identifier for nurse practitioners and physician assistants who are located with other primary care providers.
The Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) comprises surveys of households, health care and insurance providers, and nursing homes.11 MEPS Household Component (MEPS-HC) is a set of large-scale surveys of families and individuals, their medical providers, and employers across the U.S. The MEPS-HC survey collects nationally representative data on demographic characteristics, health conditions, health status, use of medical care services, charges and payments, access to care, satisfaction with care, health insurance coverage, income, and employment. Interviews are conducted with one member of each family who reports on the health care experiences for the entire family. Starting in 1996, a new household MEPS sample has been drawn each year from the respondents to the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) of the preceding year. After a preliminary contact, that sample, or “panel” is interviewed five times over the next two and a half years. Each panel represents a new sample and each round within a panel represents interviews during one of five, discrete, six-month time periods. Since new panels are formed in subsequent years, the panels overlap, increasing the effective sample size at a given time.12
Most primary care physicians arrive in the workforce in their late 20s, and typically remain in the workforce for 40 years. The increased interest in primary care in the late 1990s likely explains the age peak of physicians in the mid-late 40s (Figure 2). In 2019, nearly one-quarter of primary care physicians were aged 60 years and older.28
Primary care remains the largest platform of health care delivery in the United States, first demonstrated by Kerr White in 1961. Forty years later, an updated and expanded estimate of the use of all health services calculated the number of Americans who experience certain health care events in a typical one-month period. Using multiple data sources and comparing primary care services to other medical specialty services, the model showed that more people seek primary care than any other type of health care service.
Some primary care physicians own their practices, while others work as employees of another physician, as employees in non-physician owned practices, or as independent contractors (Figure 6). The majority of primary care offices are owned by a physician or physician group. Nearly half (48%) of primary care physicians are full or partial owners of their practices, which is a decline compared to our previous calculation.47 Conversely, the other half (48%) of primary care physicians belong to a rapidly growing cohort of employed physicians. Of the 48% employed primary care physicians, two-thirds work in non-physician owned practices while one-third work in physician owned practices. A small percentage of primary care physicians (4%) are independent contractors.
