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 2016 Indiana Physician Licensure Survey Data Report presents key information and data collected from the physician re-licensure survey administered by the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency (IPLA) during physicians’ biennial license renewal. As of 2015, 26,536 physicians were licensed to practice in the State of Indiana. Of these, 10,057 physicians reported having an Indiana practice address. 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. The report also examines these data for the primary care physician workforce and the psychiatric workforce. The 2015 Indiana Physician Licensure Survey Data Report presents a snapshot of data on the physician workforce in order to provide stakeholders with information needed to improve the quality and accessibility of health care for Indiana residents through policy making, 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. Nearly all of these licenses were renewed electronically (21,400) and given the opportunity to respond to a brief survey. The survey received a 90.7 percent response rate. Of the 19,326 physicians who responded to the survey, 10,927 were determined to be practicing in Indiana and, out of these respondents, 10,289 met the criteria for inclusion in this report.Item Indiana Physician Re-Licensure 2009 Survey Report(2010-12) Zollinger, Terrell W.; Kochhar, Komal; Coffing, Jessica M.; Canada, Meredith L.Since 1997, licenses were renewed by mail and a paper questionnaire was included with the physician license renewal form. Beginning in 2003, Indiana Professional Licensing Agency (IPLA) began on-line license renewals. 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.
