Despite training to provide care across the continuum of health delivery settings, the proportion of family physicians (FPs) reporting inpatient care has decreased by 26% between 2013 and 2017, leaving approximately 1 in 4 of FPs practicing hospital medicine in 2017. Policy makers, payers, and leaders in medical education should closely track the impact of these trends, given previous evidence associating better cost and utilization outcomes with broader scope of practice.
尽管接受了在连续的医疗服务环境中提供护理的培训，但报告提供住院护理的家庭医生比例在2013年至2017年间下降了26%，2017年约四分之一的家庭医生从事医院医学工作。鉴于先前有证据表明更广泛的执业范围与更好的成本和使用结果相关联，政策制定者、支付方和医学教育领导者应密切关注这些趋势的影响。
