Connecting Physician Recruitment, Retention and Revenue
Physician Supply and Demand
Projected physician shortfall between 40,800 and 104,900 by 2030. Demographic trends continue to be the primary drivers of increasing demand from 2015 to 2030. Physician’s retirement decisions are projected to have the greatest impact on supply. If underserved populations had standard care utilization patterns, demand for physicians would rise substantially. Achieving population health goals will likely raise demand for physicians.
Though the total pool of active primary care physicians is growing, it is not enough to keep up with demand and population growth which exceeds these numbers significantly. About 20% of Americans live in rural areas where many do not have easy access to primary care or specialist services. Only 10% of physicians practice in rural areas. From 2007 to 2015 the proportion of physicians over 55 has risen to over 43%.
