In Kantovia, physicians' income comes from insurance companies, which require physicians to document their decisions in treating patients and to justify deviations from the companies' treatment guidelines. Ten years ago physicians were allowed more discretion. Most physicians believe that the companies' requirements now prevent them from spending enough time with patients. Yet the average amount of time a patient spends with a physician during an office visit has actually increased somewhat over the last ten years.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy between physicians' perceptions and the change in the actual time spent?
Patients are more likely to be in a hurry nowadays and are less willing to wait a long time to see their physician.
Physicians today typically have a wider range of options in diagnosis and treatment to consider with the patient before prescribing.
Physicians are increasingly likely to work in group practices, sharing the responsibility of night and weekend work.
Most patients would rather trust their physicians than their insurance companies to make decisions about their treatment.
Since the insurance companies pay physicians a set amount for each office visit, it is to physicians' financial advantage to see as many patients as possible.
每个病人门诊时间更长,但医生觉得还是不够。
因为不仅新政策要求医生慎重做选择,而且选择内容越来越多了。
我本来觉得the companies' requirements now prevent them from spending enough time with patients表述牵强,并不是新政本身prevent医生花时间,而是增加的选择和新政两个因素让医生不得不花时间
但注意这只是most physicians believe ,是医生的主观感觉
