Groupthink

Groupthink

When in group settings, we are often influenced by the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors around us. Groupthink is another phenomenon of conformity where modification of the opinions of members in a group aligns with what they believe is the group consensus (Janis, 1972).

Area of Science:

Primary Care Medicine
Health Services Research

Background:

Group visits demonstrate potential for enhancing disease-oriented outcomes and patient satisfaction.
Despite proven benefits, widespread adoption of group visits by clinicians remains limited.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify clinician-reported barriers hindering the implementation of group visits in primary care settings.
To understand the factors influencing clinicians' decisions regarding group visit adoption.

Main Methods:

A survey was administered to primary care physicians within a practice-based research network.
The survey collected data on clinicians' experience with and perceived barriers to group visits.

Main Results:

Clinicians with less than 10 years of experience were more likely to have prior group visit experience.
Lack of training was the primary barrier for clinicians new to group visits.
Staffing concerns and patient recruitment were the main barriers for experienced clinicians.

Conclusions:

Primary care clinicians lacking group visit experience were less inclined to support them.
Addressing identified barriers, such as training and staffing, could facilitate greater group visit implementation.
