Physician Productivity in Specialty Care: A Scoping Review

Excerpt

The purpose of this report was to review the available evidence on physician productivity measures. This report was requested by the Specialty Care Services and Chiefs of Medicine Field Advisory Board and therefore focused on medical specialty physicians delivering care in the outpatient setting. Given an interest in understanding the size, range, and characteristics of available evidence, we conducted a scoping review, which is a type of systematic review that identifies main themes across a body of literature.
