The Impact of Large Panels

StakeholdersSignificance of Large Panels
PatientsI can’t get an appointment when I want it and my visits are too short and too rushed
CliniciansI am falling behind every day and there isn’t enough time to take good care of my patients
Medical assistantsIt’s busy; I’m rooming and running all day
Practice managerLarge panels bring in plenty of revenue for both fee-for-service and capitation. But my clinicians are really burned out.
Health system leadersLarge panels for our clinicians means that we have a strong market share. But clinicians leaving is a big problem.
