Abstract

Primary care physicians are overburdened with growing complexities and increasing expectations for primary care visits. To meet expectations, primary care physicians must multitask during visits and spend extra hours in the office for charting, billing, and documentation. This impacts the physician’s quality of life and may affect the quality of patient care. Many of the administrative tasks performed by physicians could, alternatively, be performed by nonphysician staff, leading to the adoption of team-based collaborative models.
