Patient Survey Report, 2019, for The Physicians Foundation

Patient Survey Report, 2019, asks adults (patients) their opinions on many healthcare issues. About 92% were satisfied with their primary doctor. More than 3/4 of patients thought that doctors and hospitals should look beyond their patients’ medical needs to see if causes such as food, transportation or housing problems are interfering with health issues. 78% also thought that doctors should advocate strongly for their patients. Extensive and interesting survey on a wide range of topics. Patients surveyed preferred the Democratic candidate – 41% to 34% – over the Republican candidate in the upcoming 2020 presidential election. Survey of 2001 patients, most between the ages of 27 to 75. Conducted in September 2019 for The Physicians Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports physicians. Published October 2019.
