Why Are Family Physicians’ Panels Shrinking?

J Am Board Fam Med. 2024 May-Jun;37(3):502-503. doi: 10.3122/jabfm.2024.240101R0.

ABSTRACT

The average panel for family physicians dropped from about 2400 to about 1800 patients from 2013 to 2022. Likely reasons for this decline: 1) fewer people seeking primary care, and 2) fewer people receiving their care through a long-term continuity relationship with a primary care clinician.
