paywalled: Visit Duration for Outpatient Physician Office Visits Among Patients With Cancer
Visit Duration for Outpatient Physician Office Visits Among Patients With Cancer
Conclusion:
Higher use of performance-based payment mechanisms and capitated arrangements are associated with a decrease in the amount of time physicians spend with their patients with cancer. It is unclear whether shorter visit times impact the quality of medical care provided or whether physicians in these settings have become more proficient in caring for their patients.
