Patients report better satisfaction with part-time primary care physicians, despite less continuity of care and access.
The researchers examined the relationships between a physicians’ clinical full-time equivalent (FTE), continuity of care, access to care, and patient satisfaction with the physician. Their results suggest that PCPs who choose to work fewer clinical hours may have worse continuity and access, but they may provide a better patient experience.
