RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 One-Third of Family Physicians Remain in Independently Owned Practice, 2017–2019 JF The Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine JO J Am Board Fam Med FD American Board of Family Medicine SP 1033 OP 1034 DO 10.3122/jabfm.2021.05.210051 VO 34 IS 5 A1 Diane R.

Peterson YR 2021 UL http://www.jabfm.org/content/34/5/1033.abstract AB The rise of health system and hospital ownership of primary care practices raises policy questions about the survival of independent physician-owned practices. Our data indicate that a substantial proportion of FPs in 2017–2019 remained in independently owned practice: 81% of solo practitioners and 35% of FPs in practices with 2–5 clinicians. These findings suggest that independent practice is surviving, and that it's incumbent on researchers, payers, and policymakers to better understand their unique contributions and challenges in the effort to improve primary care access, quality, and cost.
