The viability of primary care remains questionable as it faces persistent challenges exacerbated by post-pandemic population health needs and pandemic-related injuries to practice. In fact, 99.5% of clinicians agree that US primary care has not recovered after the COVID-19 pandemic and requires intervention to remain sustainable. Additionally, 85% say that the current workforce is insufficient to meet US population health needs. While 1 in 3 respondents were able to report some personal recovery, 64% of clinicians endorsed the statement that US primary care is crumbling – up from the 46% that endorsed the same as the pandemic was subsiding (March 2022).
