Physicians leaving private practice for employment has hurt patient care quality, according to a recent survey of doctors commissioned by the Physicians Advocacy Institute.
The survey polled 1,000 physicians employed by insurers, health systems, staffing agencies and private equity firms on how corporate ownership affects their workplace experience and ability to meet patients’ needs. The research was conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago.

Medical practices are getting larger, and physicians are less likely to own them, according to a report from the American Medical Association.
Carol Kane, AMA’s director of economic and health policy research, compiled the report released Wednesday by analyzing data from the association’s biennial Physician Practice Benchmark Surveys from 2012 to 2022. The most recent survey was conducted in late 2022 and included data from 3,500 post-residency physicians.
