For hospitals facing a physician shortage, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and health lay workers may be the key to providing high-quality care at lower costs, according to recent research.
The physician shortage is expected to reach up to 104,900 providers by 2030, the Association of American Medical Colleges reported.
The shortage will be particularly felt in the primary care space. The AAMC projected primary care to fall short by 7,300 to 43,100 providers by 2030.
