Poor Working Conditions For Docs May Affect Quality Of Care
"Adverse working conditions for primary care doctors, including time pressures and an unfavorable organizational culture, may lead to stress, burnout, and ultimately to lower quality patient care, a new study found," MedPage Today reports. The study, published in the July 7 issue of The Annals of Internal Medicine, found that "53.1% of primary care physicians reported time pressure during physical examinations, while 48.1% reported chaotic working environments. Only 23.7% felt that quality was strongly emphasized in their practices. ... Moreover, 48.8% described their jobs as moderately or highly stressful, while 26.5% reported burnout, and 30.1% said they were at least moderately likely to leave their practices within two years." The authors wrote that the findings "are disturbing at a time when recruitment and retention in primary care are of major concern."

COAG Should Maintain Focus On Improving Indigenous Health, Australia

Tomorrow"s Council of Australian Governments (COAG) meeting is a crucial opportunity to focus on achieving concrete long-term health improvements for Indigenous people, the AMA said. The Council of Australian Governments (COAG) will meet in Darwin tomorrow (Thursday) to discuss a strategic national plan for closing the life expectancy gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. AMA Federal President, Dr Andrew Pesce, said it is important that governments develop a national plan for Indigenous health in genuine partnership with Indigenous people and health organisations that know what is needed and what will work. "The Prime Minister has acknowledged that closing the 17-year life expectancy gap between Indigenous and non-indigenous Australians is one of the most significant challenges facing Australia," Dr Pesce said. "The recent commitment of $1.6 billion through COAG to Indigenous health is a very promising start to tackling this challenge. "COAG has a responsibility to ensure that this money is used to achieve real and concrete health outcomes for Indigenous people, and isn"t simply soaked up by Commonwealth and State bureaucracies at the expense of services on the ground." Dr Pesce said a priority for a strategic national plan for Indigenous health should be to improve workforce capacity by training more Indigenous doctors and health care workers. "It should also strengthen the capacity of mainstream health services to provide culturally appropriate primary care for Indigenous people. "COAG"s strategic national plan should contain clear targets and benchmarks for concrete action and health outcomes, and all governments should make a commitment to achieving them," he said.
