Time, Referrals, and Doctoring-Efficient Options for the Future (TRADEOFF)

Description

This project explores whether increased time spent by primary care physicians (PCPs) substitutes for (a) services they directly order, such as tests, imaging, and referrals to specialists, and/or (b) services their patients may access directly from other PCPs, specialists, and urgent care sites. We examine clinical quality indicators and patient assessments across low- and high-cost PCPs. This project will inform the Accountable Care Organization concept encouraging less costly approaches to care.
