FP Report -- September 1999
FPs satisfied with care they deliver, with AAFP
The annual AAFP member attitude survey leads with the question, "Compared to other medical organizations you are familiar with, how satisfied are you with the AAFP?"
"Very satisfied," said 51 percent of this year's 346 respondents -- a percentage that has gradually increased from the 1995 response of 31 percent. Other snippets from the sample survey:
Seventy-four percent of respondents agreed that, if they had it all to do over, they would still become family physicians. And 79 percent said FPs provide higher-quality health care now than 10 years ago.
Members, however, are not expecting bigger bucks. Only 27 percent of respondents agreed with the statement, "I expect to make more money from my practice this year than last year."
