Balance and better interactions between primary-care and specialist physicians improve US health

n, more specialists decrease the number of procedures performed per physician, which further increases risks of complications or mortality.

"Having too many physicians leads to unnecessary care and runs the risk of greater adverse effects. Simply training more specialists is unlikely to improve health, and will greatly increase costs. The challenge for the United States health services system is to find better ways for primary care and specialist physicians to work together so that health services are more effective, efficient and equitable," said Dr. Starfield.
