A Survey of Physician and Patient Experience
According to a survey conducted for the California Healthcare Foundation, nearly 40 percent of California doctors said their patients experienced problems because care wasn't well coordinated between providers and sites. Snapshot: Uncoordinated Care: A Survey of Physician and Patient Experience (23 pages, PDF) also found that 61 percent of physicians reported that patients sometimes or often experienced long wait times for necessary tests, while more than 40 percent of physicians don't have a system to receive alerts about potential drug dose or interaction problems.
