Item Policy Report: 2013 Indiana Physician Workforce(2015-02) Norwood, Connor W.; Maxey, Hannah L.; Kelley, Tracie M.The healthcare workforce represents the intersection of medical science, health care delivery, and patient health. Therefore ensuring an adequate supply of this workforce is critical to ensuring access to health care services across the population. Unfortunately, across the United States, including Indiana, an inequitable distribution of the health workforce threatens access and health. In order to secure the health and well-being of Hoosiers, health policy discussions focused on health care must consider the health workforce as part of the agenda. The physician workforce may be regarded as the “backbone” of the healthcare system. Based on their extensive training, physicians are positioned as leaders within the health system. Therefore, information on the supply and distribution of Indiana’s physician workforce is critical to informing any health workforce policy or planning efforts. This policy report provides a ‘snapshot’ from the most recent data on Indiana’s physician workforce, and presents information pertinent to workforce planning and policy in Indiana. Comprehensive data are available in the Data Report: 2013 Indiana Physician Workforce.Item Data Report: 2013 Indiana Physician Workforce(2014-11) Sheff, Zachary T.; Nowak, Callie L.; Maxey, Hannah L.; Kelley, Tracie M.Indiana’s physician workforce is comprised of many skilled health care providers that work in a range of settings and specialties. Information on the supply and distribution of this workforce are critical to Indiana’s health system for planning and policy development. Supply data on Indiana’s physician workforce are routinely collected in the form of surveys administered in conjunction with the biennial medical license renewal process. As of the 2013, 25, 800 physicians were licensed to practice in the State of Indiana. Of these, 9,460 physicians indicated a n Indiana practice address , of which 2 ,939 reported a primary care specialty as defined by the Health Resource s and Service s Administration (HRSA) at Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), including: general or family practice, general internal medicine, pediatrics, and obstetrics and gynecology. Practice characteristics and geographic distribution of this workforce are critical to determining capacity at the community level. The majority of Indiana physicians reported having only one practice location in Indiana and indicated that they worked at least 33 hours per week in direct patient care. Approximately one - third of physicians reported working with an advanced practice nurse (APN), but very few worked with physician assistants. The physician workforce, including primary care, is concentrated in populous, urban areas. In fact there are two rural Indiana counties, Benton and Switzerland, in which no physician reported practicing. Currently, all or parts of 63 counties are designated as primary care health professional shortage areas (HPSAs). However, 11 Indiana Counties not currently designated qualify as a geographic HPSA based population to primary care physician ratio as calculated with the most recent supply data. This report presents detailed information on Indiana’s physician workforce. This includes information on the demographic and practice characteristics of the workforce, supply data aggregated to the county - level, and federal shortage designations. These data provide stakeholders with information needed to improve the quality and accessibility of health care for Indiana residents through policymaking, workforce development, and resource allocation.Item Indiana Physician Licensure 2011 Survey Report(2013-01) Lewis, Cynthia K.; Sheff, Zachary T.; Allen, Deborah I.; Zollinger, Terrell W.A total of 23,026 physician licenses were issue d or renewed in 2011.

Since then, all Indiana physicians who renewed their license on-line were asked to complete an online survey instrument. This report summarizes the responses to the 2009 Indiana Physician Survey and compares them to the results of prior physician surveys reported in the Indiana Physician Survey Databook and the Indiana Physician Re-Licensure Survey reports.Item Report of Responses to the 2003, 2005 and 2007 Indiana Physician Surveys(2009-04) Allen, Deborah I.; Zollinger, Terrell W.; Kochhar, Komal; Reger, Michael K.; Chowdhury, ShabnamA variety of survey methods have been used since the 1970’s to learn more about the physician supply and distribution in the state of Indiana. Since 1997, a voluntary survey instrument has been attached to the physician license renewal form, which physicians complete every 2 years. Those renewing their licenses online in 2003, 2005 and 2007 were invited to complete the survey. Those renewing their license through the mail were not given the opportunity to complete the survey. The physician survey was implemented through a collaboration of the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) and the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency (IPLA). This report summarizes the responses to the 2003, 2005 and 2007 Indiana Physician Surveys and compares these results to the results of the prior physician surveys reported in the Indiana Physician Survey Databook, 1997 and the Indiana Physician Survey Databook, 2001.Item Data Report: 2016 Indiana Physician Licensure Survey(2016-05) Vaughn, S., Gano, L., Maxey, H.The Bowen Center for Health Workforce Research and Policy, formerly called the Bowen Research Center, has a rich history of collecting, analyzing, and disseminating health workforce data and research for the State of Indiana. These health workforce data are important to informing health workforce policy and planning efforts through the State. Although the health workforce is comprised of a myriad of health professionals, the physician workforce may be regarded as the backbone of the healthcare system, which makes collecting and disseminating timely data on the supply and distribution of Indiana’s physician workforce critical to informing any health workforce policy or planning efforts.

The majority of Indiana physicians reported having only one practice location in the state. Consistent with national trends, Indiana’s physicians are concentrated in populous, urban areas. In addition to understanding the geographic distribution of this workforce, practice characteristics are critical to determining capacity at the community level. A total of 6,285 (62%) physicians reported working 37 hours or more per week in direct patient care. Furthermore, roughly 52% of the physician workforce reported not offering a sliding fee scale. Also, 8.5% of Indiana physicians reported not accepting Medicaid. This report details important demographic and practice characteristics for the physician workforce.

As of November 2017, 27,473 physicians renewed their Indiana medical license. Of these, 11,085 self-identified as actively practicing in medicine and had a license address located within the State of Indiana. Demographically, the majority of Indiana’s physician workforce is male, white and non-Hispanic. Data demonstrate demographic shifts are occurring among Indiana physicians as a larger percentage of female physicians are in younger age groups as compared to male physicians. This is expected as more female physicians are entering this workforce. Data on the practice characteristics, specialty and geographic distribution, of Indiana physicians suggest trends similar to those observed nationally. The majority of Indiana’s physician workforce is concentrated in populous, urban areas, and over 60% of physicians report a specialty other than a primary care (Family Medicine/General Practice, General Internal Medicine, General Pediatrics and Obstetrics and Gynecology) or psychiatric (Adult/Child Psychiatry) specialty.
