Physicians With Disabilities
As part of the Health Affairs
issue on disability and health, one article provides some perspective on the experiences of physicians with disabilities.
Lisa Meeks and coauthors examine mistreatment of physicians with disabilities from both coworkers and patients, including threats of physical harm and offensive remarks related to a disability or other identity
trait.
Compared with their nondisabled peers, physicians with disabilities had a significantly higher likelihood of experiencing mistreatment.
Further, the authors discover that physicians with disabilities were three times more likely than nondisabled physicians to receive negative remarks about their race or ethnicity.
The authors write that these findings reveal a need for disability-focused anti-mistreatment policies and practices.
Today in Forefront, Paige Bhansali and coauthors discuss how children with medical complexity could greatly benefit from coordinated care models and capitated payments.
