In Kantovia, physicians' income comes from insurance companies, which require physicians to document their decisions in treating patients and to justify deviations from the companies' treatment guidelines. Ten years ago physicians were allowed more discretion. Most physicians believe that the companies' requirements now prevent them from spending enough time with patients. Yet the average amount of time a patient spends with a physician during an office visit has actually increased somewhat over the last ten years.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy between physicians' perceptions and the change in the actual time spent?
12. GWD25-Q12. In Kantovia, physicians’ income comes from insurance companies, which require physicians to document their decisions in treating patients and to justify deviations from the companies’ treatment guidelines. Ten years ago physicians were allowed more discretion. Most physicians believe that the companies’ requirements now prevent them from spending enough time with patients. Yet the average amount of time a patient spends with a physician during an office visit has actually increased somewhat over the last ten years. Which of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy between physicians’ perceptions and the change in the actual time spent? A.  atients are more likely to be in a hurry nowadays and are less willing to wait a long time to see their physician. B.  hysicians today typically have a wider range of options in diagnosis and treatment to consider with the patient before prescribing. C.  hysicians are increasingly likely to work in group practices, sharing the responsibility of night and weekend work (Shell Game: office visit not night and weekend). D. Most patients would rather trust their physicians than their insurance companies to make decisions about their treatment. E. Since the insurance companies pay physicians a set amount for each office visit, it is to physicians’ financial advantage to see as many patients as possible.
the average amount of time a patient spends with a physician during an office visit(T) = diagnosis and treatment to consider with the patient before prescribing时间(T1)(也就是B选项里的) + doctor和patient独处交流的时间(T2)。所以虽然T增加了,可是T1也增加了很多,导致T2还是减少了(T2减少就是physicians’ perceptions )。解释矛盾恩。不晓得对不对......
首先看清楚题目吧most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy between physicians’ perceptions and the change in the actual time spent? 然后回忆题目,保险公司要求P document their decisions in treating patients and to justify deviations from the companies’ treatment guidelines. Ten years ago physicians were allowed more discretion.重点放在后面一句话。答案就浮出水面了
