Summary:

The goal of this survey was to assess physicians' perceptions of the impact that the 2006 Massachusetts health care reform had had on their practices and their patients. To that end, the survey interviewed physicians in Massachusetts about their views in three areas: their overall support for the legislation, their views of its effectiveness on their own practices, and their views of its effects on health care throughout the state. Information on physician characteristics collected by the survey includes gender, race, Hispanic origin, specialty, year of graduation from medical school, type of practice setting, practice ownership, number of physicians in practice, number of beds in the hospital where most patients were admitted, percent of time spent on direct patient care, percent of patients on Medicaid or uninsured, percent of patients on Medicare, percent of patients belonging to minority groups, and ZIP code.
