Physician group practice in China's healthcare reform: a national survey on physicians' perspectives and implementation challenges
This first systematic study of Chinese physicians' perspectives on PGs reveals moderate support driven by career development and income opportunities, while highlighting regulatory and institutional barriers. Results suggest the need for stable policies, enhanced income frameworks, and targeted support for early career physicians-who currently show less support than experienced physicians-to facilitate successful PG implementation in China.
