Exploring the Feasibility of Data Collection on Physicians and Their Practices

This presentation by Herbert S. Wong, Ph.D., at the AHRQ Annual Conference discusses the critical need for comprehensive data on healthcare providers, including physicians, physician assistants, and nurses. The lack of sufficient data impedes understanding healthcare dynamics and policy changes. Highlights include the recent AHRQ solicitation and a 24-month project to develop and test a prototype for gathering information on physician behavior and practices, which will connect with existing AHRQ databases and address priority questions.
