title: Physician productivity in ambulatory care: for-profit and military primary care health clinics.
abstract: In summary, by being aware of the characteristics of their physicians and patients, ambulatory care managers might be able to influence their physician productivity. Specifically, managers may wish to hire physicians who are board certified or foreign medical school graduates. Similarly, managers may seek to attract patients with acute, nonsevere, nonurgent conditions. Managers seeking to enhance physician productivity should consider these characteristics regardless of the reimbursement or proprietary nature of their ambulatory care organizations.
