The Myra Kraft Open Classroom Series Fall 2013:Policy for a Healthy America • Every Wednesday, 6pm – 8pm • September 4, 2013 through December 4, 2013 • West Village F, Room 20 • Northeastern University • School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs
This Week (October 9, 2013) “Is there a doctor in the house? Maybe not, but will it matter?” Timothy Hoff, PhD Associate Professor of Management, Organizational Development, Healthcare Systems, and Healthcare Policy, Northeastern School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs Gregory Sawin, MD, MPH Program Director, Tufts Family Medicine Residency at Cambridge Health Alliance; Assistant Clinical Professor, Tufts University School of Medicine; Clinical Instructor, Harvard Medical School School of Public Policy & Urban Affairs | Northeastern University

Is There a Doctor in the House?(Maybe, maybe not, but how much will it matter?) Timothy Hoff, Ph.D. For the Open Classroom Series
Let’s Get Some Things on the Table • If the system continued to look like it does now, we WOULD NOT have enough doctors (or nurses) to meet the needs of patients in the US • We certainly DO NOT and WILL NOT have enough primary care physicians to meet demand • Nurses WILL GET greater autonomy to practice medicine independently • Our system WILL BEGIN to outsource traditional physician and nurse work to NEW types of health care workers and technology • Patients WILL INTERACT much differently with the system in the near future • All of the DOES NOT mean better or cheaper patient care per se
What are some key facts and imperatives around the health care workforce? • How will the system promote massive shifts in health workforce distribution and use? • What will the future look like?

All Probable Futures Given the Access Needs, Workforce Misalignments, and Expected Innovation to Occur in US health Care
Here are Some Things We Know • Docs: • Expected shortages across almost all specialties and geographic regions (e.g. 50K PCPs needed by 2020) • An aging physician workforce about to retire • A younger, very different physician workforce • Nurses: • Upskilling is occurring, and with that fragmentation (APRNs, RNs, LPNs) • 16 states—can diagnose, prescribe, and treat without physician oversight; more states to follow
More Things We Know • Physicians and Nurses are an unhappy lot at present • Will medicine still get the best and brightest? • Physicians are becoming employees fast and permanently • Specialization, technology, and business models are deskilling doctors and nurses • Medical knowledge is being codified, stored, and “protocolized” at a rapid rate • Emphasis on access, value, and cost control are pushing the development of new types of “disruptive” health care workers (e.g. health coaches, patient navigators, health aides, care coordinators)
Will Computers, Robots, and Lower-Skilled Workers Replace Doctors and Nurses?
Answer? Yes, to Some Degree • Venture capital sees health care as the next great “profit frontier” • We cannot turn out enough professionals • Hospitals and “big systems” will employ most physicians—they will have scale, dollars, and incentive to use these disruptive innovations • See law firms, construction industry, and education • We are enamored with technology
Will the New Structures in Health Care Deskill, Demoralize, or Lift Everyone?
Accountable Care Organizations • Shared risk, stronger accountability, more integration, business models rule • Possible: Docs lose, everyone else wins • Possible: Docs take on employee mindset • Possible: Docs can focus more on medicine • Possible: We need fewer workers
Teams • Every setting takes a multi-worker approach to care, some places formal and others not • Possible: Greater camaraderie among workers • Possible: Same conflicts, tensions, alienation • Possible: Improves job satisfaction, reduces burnout, and makes a more productive workforce
Technology-assisted care • Every clinician and health care worker has immediate access to already interpreted information • Possible: Creates a workforce that is more efficient and informed • Possible: Creates a happier workforce • Possible: Deskills some, upskills others
What Does the Future Hold? • New access points for health care services: • Retail clinics, ATM-like kiosks, Your home and car • The doctor morphs into “the system” or “brand” • These access points will not use physicians as much • A “visit” by any other name, would smell as sweet? • Virtual visits, Real-time monitoring, group visits • Will create efficiencies, increase capacity (maybe), and reduce the need for some health care workers while inventing new ones
The Future Again • Medical schools will either revolutionize or become increasingly marginalized • What happens to the relational aspects of health care delivery? • Will patients even notice?

Systems are perfectly designed to get the results they get. Dr. Paul Batalden Traditional fee-for-service payment rewards piecemeal work and volume of services rather than prevention of illness and coordination of care. The more procedures a physician and health system performs and the more patients they see, the more they are paid.
We need more Primary Care Docs • By 2015 ACA estimated to insure an additional 30 million Americans leaving us needing about 15-30,000 more primary care physicians in our current models (FM Graduates ~2,400/year) • >50% current family medicine residency slots are filled by foreign grads • >$3.5 million career pay differential between primary care and subspecialists • Our med schools are in tertiary care centers many without robust primary care departments.
