Waits To See Specialists In Boston Increased To Average Of 50 Days, Study Finds
The average time patients in Boston wait for an appointment to see a specialist has increased over the last five years to an average of 50 days and can be up to one year, despite the fact that the city has an "abundance" of specialists, according to a recent study, the Boston Globe reports. For the study, Merritt, Hawkins & Associates, a Texas-based consulting and physician recruiting firm, surveyed 1,162 physician offices in 15 metropolitan areas to try to re-create the situation of a new patient seeking a nonurgent appointment in five specialty areas -- cardiology, dermatology, family medicine, obstetrics-gynecology and orthopedic surgery. The average wait time in Boston is more than three weeks longer than any other city included in the study. The study determined that while Boston patients had the longest wait times for appointments to see dermatologists, ob-gyns and family practitioners, Dallas had the longest wait times to see orthopedic surgeons, followed by Boston. Miami, Minneapolis and San Diego all had longer wait times to see cardiologists than Boston.According to the study, while Boston patients have long faced delays, the problem may have been exacerbated by an increase in patients seeking care following the implementation of the 2006 Massachusetts health insurance law. While the study did not pinpoint a cause for longer wait times in Boston, the study"s authors wrote that the city"s experience "may signal what could happen nationally in the event that access to health care is expanded through health care reform."Brian Rossman, research director for Health Care for All, said the reason for long wait times also is because many specialists in Boston work for academic medical centers and do not see patients full time (Kowalczyk, Boston Globe, 5/15).

Elsevier, a world-leading publisher of scientific, technical and medical information products and services, is pleased to announce that PM&R - The journal of injury, function and rehabilitation, the official scientific journal of the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (AAPM&R), has been accepted for coverage by MEDLINE, just six months after its launch in January 2009. Under the guidance of Editor-in-Chief Stuart M. Weinstein, MD, Clinical Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Washington, Seattle, and an internationally renowned Editorial Board, this monthly, peer-reviewed, scholarly publication has a clinical focus, presenting an array of topics pertinent to physiatrists (rehabilitation medicine physicians), to those in other related medical disciplines, as well as to a wider international readership. "It is particularly gratifying that a fledgling journal such as PM&R has already been recognized for its contribution to the advancement of physical medicine and rehabilitation," commented Dr. Weinstein. "Working in close partnership with the AAPM&R it is our goal to raise the scientific bar and build bridges between practitioners and researchers across this multidisciplinary field. I am thankful to the entire editorial and publishing team who have committed to the success of this journal." MEDLINE abstracting and indexing of PM&R will start as soon as possible and will be retroactive to Volume 1/Issue 1. MEDLINE is the U.S. National Library of Medicine"s premier bibliographic database containing over 16 million references to journal articles in life sciences with a concentration on biomedicine. PM&R was evaluated and selected for inclusion based on a stringent review process conducted by the Literature Selection Technical Review Committee, an NIH-chartered advisory committee of external experts. MEDLINE records of PM&R articles will also be accessible via PubMed®. "Rapid acceptance by MEDLINE clearly acknowledges the high-quality, significant work already published in PM&R and the continuing efforts of the highly-respected editors, reviewers and the Academy. We at Elsevier would like to thank them all for their contribution to this excellent achievement," stated Elsevier"s Herb Niemirow, Publisher of PM&R. Popularly known as the "Purple Journal," PM&R publishes articles that are contemporary and important to both clinical research and practice. The various sections of the journal highlight original research including clinical trials and observational studies, clinically relevant translational science, comprehensive and focused review articles, case presentations, point/counterpoint discussions and commentary, ethical-legal topics, practice management updates, topical study guides, editorial and opinion pieces, and clinical pearls. Continuing Medical Education opportunities for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit are also offered.
