Health care reform is upon us, including changes in models of care delivery and
physician and institution compensation. The resulting tsunami of uncertainty
offers physiatrists the opportunity to relocate to higher ground and help the
specialty thrive as well as to identify the possible quagmires into which
practices could sink.
For this reason, it is prudent for physiatrists to more
carefully consider how their professional lives may be altered in the aftermath
of reform. We believe that understanding and preparation will facilitate
opportunities and mitigate challenges. In this essay, we will discuss various
alternative scenarios that represent population health and health care delivery
in the year 2032, the real-world opportunities and challenges for the physiatrist
in the present and in the next 2 decades, along with ideas as to how physiatry
can thrive in the post-health care reform world.
