Approaches towards averting a potential structural shortage of general practitioners: results of a quantitative survey on attitudes, experiences, and ideas from general practitioners in the Federal Republic of Germany.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Securing primary care poses a complex set of challenges for policymakers in national healthcare. The risk of a shortage in general practitioners raises the question as to which approach would make an effective contribution towards averting an impending healthcare shortage. There has been a lack of studies shedding light on how general practitioners pview various approaches towards securing long-term primary care, and which measures they support from their own professional experience. The aim of the study was to ascertain the opinions, attitudes, and experiences of general practitioners in securing primary care across the country. We ran a survey to ask GPs about strategies that they saw as promising or particularly pressing, how they viewed the current situation regardin
