By Scott Becker, Molly Gamble Verified| Becker's Hospital Review Verified 1. Healthcare has a big supply and demand problem. Demand for healthcare continues to exceed the number of physicians, nurses and allied healthcare providers available in what is one of the most pressing math problems of our time. There are more than 340 million people in the U.S. who rely on only 1.1 million physicians. While the system is facing deficits of numerous types of professionals and roles, physicians' centrality in primary and specialty care makes this mismatch a key problem.
By Scott Becker, Molly Gamble Verified| Becker's Hospital Review Verified Emergency rooms are the front-door to the U.S. healthcare system. A combination of systemic issues converge in ERs, leading to long wait times and inefficiencies for patients. Nationwide, the average ED visit was 2 hours and 42 minutes from April 2022 through March 2023, according to CMS data. That's up from 2 hours, 35 minutes in 2021, and 2 hours, 18 minutes in 2014. In Washington, D.C., wait times reached a national high of over 5 hours.
