Qualifications, Demographics, Satisfaction, and Future Capacity of the HIV Care Provider Workforce in the United States, 2013-2014

摘要

Projected growth of the HIV care provider workforce by 2019 will not accommodate the increase in HIV-infected persons requiring care. Ryan White Program-funded facilities may face provider attrition. Dissatisfaction with salary/reimbursement is substantial, and black and Hispanic providers are underrepresented.Methods.aEuro integral We surveyed a probability sample of 2023 US HIV care providers in 2013-2014, including those at Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP)-funded facilities and in private practices. We estimated future patient care capacity by comparing counts of providers entering and planning to leave practice within 5 years, and the number of patients under their care.
