Physician assistant care qualities that make patients feel valued in the U.S. in 2023
In 2023, 72 percent of U.S. patients who had an ongoing relationship with a physician assistant (PA) indicated they felt valued as the PA took time to listen to them. In comparison, 62 percent without an ongoing relation with a PA reported the same. Patients in the U.S. who had an ongoing relationship with a PA were more likely to report feeling valued in comparison to those who had seen a PA but did not have an ongoing relationship.
