LOCAL CARE, GLOBAL CONCERNS THE VIEWS OF HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS AROUND THE WORLD ON COSTS, CARE AND

PROFESSIONAL CULTURE
APCO Insight conducted a global survey of health care providers in Latin America, Europe, Asia and the United States to understand their
perceptions of the industry, their profession and their predictions for the future of care. Our three-part series shares high-level insights that
elevate the viewsand needsof HCPs.

MORALE ON THE BRINK

There is a middling of morale amongst health care providers,

leaving questions about the future sustainability of the profession.

Less than half

say they feel somewhat positive about the current

state of the medical profession.

In recent years there have been

signicant shifts across the
global health care landscape.
In the United Kingdom, junior
doctors have been threatening
strikes following proposed
contract changes. In the United
States, the country is facing a
signicant shortage of primary
care providers. These examples
underscore the importance of
tending morale to better
retainand recruitan adequate
cadre of qualied health care
providers.

Few believe

that the quality of interaction or that their clinical

autonomy has gotten better with time.

Currently, some doctors feel they have

failed to be better recognized

for their contributions...

...and even more believe their work load has

disproportionately increased

THE FUTURE OF
HEALTH CARE

With doubts about the

sustainability of the sector
looming, bolstering
condence of our
front-line providers
becomes urgent. Without
their talent and
engagement, the ability of
health care systems to
improve the lives of
patients is drawn into
question. Thus, improving
morale is not only about
improving HCPs
perceptions of their work,
it is about securing the
stability and future of
health care overall.

Methodology: These results are based on a survey of 1,000 general practice doctors, 1,000 specialists, 500 nurses and 500 pharmacists across the U.S.,
Mexico, Brazil, U.K., France, Germany, Russia, China, India and Japan. The study was elded from July through August of 2016. For more information about
