An Aging Population, Technological Change and Growth in Household Incomes Will Bode Well for General and Family Practice Physicians in the US
Posted on: Wednesday, 9 January 2008, 12:01 CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c78761) has announced the addition of Offices of General and Family Practice Physicians in the US to their offering.
This industry comprises establishments or health practitioners having the degree of M.D. (Doctor of Medicine) or D.O. (Doctor of Osteopathy) primarily engaged in the independent practice of general or family practice. These practitioners operate private or group practices in their own offices (e.g., centers, clinics) or in the facilities of others, such as hospitals or HMO medical centers. General and family physicians provide comprehensive and continuous primary care health care (which means that these physicians principally act as the first point of consultation). Care is provided to: individuals and families; women and men regardless of age or disease; and infants, children and adolescents regardless of disease. General and family physicians provide: prevention and management of acute injuries and illnesses; health promotion; hospital care for acute medical illnesses; chronic disease management; maternity care; well-child care and child development; primary mental health care; rehabilitation; and supportive and end of life care.
Aging growth
This industry will encounter increased competition from specialist physicians in the primary care market. Based on current policy settings, growth in revenue generated by Offices of General and Family Practice Physicians will be lower than growth in the revenue of Offices of Specialist Physicians. An aging population, technological change and growth in household incomes will bode well for this industry.
