    2018 Indiana Physician Workforce Fact Sheet
    (Indiana University, 2018-11-13) Bowen Center for Health Workforce Research & Policy
    The Bowen Center for Health Workforce Research and Policy (Bowen Center) has a rich history of collecting, analyzing and disseminating health workforce data and research for the State of Indiana. These efforts are important to informing health workforce policy and planning initiatives throughout the State. The physician workforce has long been regarded as the backbone of the health care system, making the collection and dissemination of timely data on supply and distribution critical to informing these initiatives. The 2017 Indiana Physician Fact Sheet presents key information collected from the physician licensure survey administered by the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency during the biennial license renewal cycle. 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. Additional details on the demographic and practice characteristics of Indiana’s physician workforce are described and presented in this report. In addition to providing information on the overall physician workforce, this report also contains sub-sections specifically dedicated to primary care physicians and psychiatrists. The 2017 Indiana Physician Fact Sheet is a snapshot of Indiana’s physician workforce and offers key information that can be used to determine the best practices for improving health care for Indiana residents.

    2018 Telemedicine In Indiana Report
    (Indiana University, 2018-11-15) Vaughn, Sierra X.; Randolph, Courtney R.; Maxey, Hannah L.
    Telemedicine: What is it? Telemedicine is a 21st Century approach to delivering health care and addressing health workforce shortages. It involves the remote diagnosis and treatment of patients by means of telecommunications technology (video, picture, voice, etc.). It has been defined as “the practice of medicine using technology to deliver care at a distance. It occurs using telecommunications infrastructure between a patient (at an origination or spoke site) and a physician or other practitioner licensed to practice medicine (at a distant or hub site).” Telemedicine in Indiana: In Indiana, physicians who offer telemedicine services are held to the same standards as a physician providing in-person health care services. In addition to holding a medical license, Indiana has a certification for telemedicine providers, administered by the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency (IPLA); however, physicians who predominately practice within Indiana are not required to file this certification . There are currently 226 physicians reported to hold this telemedicine certification . As of the 2017 medical license renewal period, 1,394 of Indiana’s licensed physicians (808 excluding those that reported radiology as their specialty) reported delivering care through telemedicine services. The purpose of this report is to describe characteristics of Indiana physicians that self-reported being engaged in providing telemedicine services in order to inform current and future related efforts. The data presented here are a subset from the 2017 Physician Licensure Survey Data Report .

    2019 Physician Data Report
    (2020) Maxey, Hannah., Vaughn, S., Floyd, T.
    Health workforce development strategies in Indiana are important to informing policy and supporting workforce shortage designations. Over the last several years, significant strides have been made to collect comprehensive, accurate and timely health workforce data which are maintained for longitudinal workforce tracking. These efforts have contributed to collaborative dialogue regarding health workforce policy and planning. The implementation of Indiana Senate Enrolled Act 223 (SEA 223-2018) in January 2019 required professionals regulated by selected professional licensing boards to provide information regarding employment and practice during their license renewal periods. The Medical Licensing Board is one of the boards named in SEA 223-2018, specifically affecting allopathic and osteopathic physicians. As a research entity, the Bowen Center for Health Workforce Research and Policy (Bowen Center) has been committed to and engaged in supporting the State of Indiana with developing sustainable data management processes and publishing timely workforce information.
