Impact of physician group practice in the operations, quality of care, and service satisfaction in the non-urgent section of an emergency department in a tertiary hospital in the Philippines: a mixed methods study
While GPs were associated with higher operational costs, they improved the ED efficiency and perceived quality of care without compromising patient outcomes. These findings support GP as a viable alternative model for improving ED operations. However, more research is needed to examine its long-term impacts.
