What Does Our Tolerance of Poor Management of Patients' Pain Have to Do With Reimbursement Inequity for Office-Based Gynecologic Procedures?
Office-based gynecologic procedures (OBGPs) are reimbursed at lower rates than similar office urology and dermatology procedures. But there is a broader "hidden curriculum" in health professions training that perpetuates clinicians' and organizations' acceptance of these patterns of poor reimbursement, disincentivizes research on improving OBGP pain management, and exacerbates tolerance of poor control of patients' OBGP pain. This article suggests strategies for equitable reimbursement that would also likely motivate better, more equitable OBGP pain control.
期刊介绍:
The AMA Journal of Ethics exists to help medical students, physicians and all health care professionals navigate ethical decisions in service to patients and society. The journal publishes cases and expert commentary, medical education articles, policy discussions, peer-reviewed articles for journal-based and audio CME, visuals, and more. Since its inception as an editorially-independent journal, we promote ethics inquiry as a public good.
