Area of Science:

  • Health Policy
  • Physician Workforce Analysis
  • Healthcare Access

Background:

  • State policymakers and healthcare professionals frequently question physician supply adequacy.
  • Assessing physician numbers is crucial for effective healthcare planning and resource allocation.
  • Understanding physician distribution is key to addressing healthcare needs and disparities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a relative-needs analysis of the physician workforce in Oklahoma.
  • To determine if Oklahoma has an adequate or excessive supply of primary care physicians.
  • To compare Oklahoma's physician supply with national benchmarks and planning goals.

Main Methods:

  • Compared Oklahoma's practicing physician supply against six established projection-needs studies.

  • Analyzed the ratio of primary care physicians per 100,000 population.
  • Included both allopathic and osteopathic physicians in active practice for a comprehensive view.

    • Main Results:

    • Oklahoma does not have a surplus of primary care physicians; the ratio was 68 per 100,000, below the national average of 79.
    • Primary care physicians in Oklahoma were found to be neither oversupplied nor undersupplied.
    • Oklahoma's physician workforce metrics align more closely with national planning model goals than most other states.

    Conclusions:

    • Oklahoma's current physician supply, particularly in primary care, is adequate.
    • The state is well-positioned regarding physician workforce planning compared to national standards.
    • This study's inclusive methodology (allopathic, osteopathic, active practice) offers a unique perspective on physician workforce needs.
