AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Orthopaedic practices and service lines increasingly are employing physician assistants (PAs). Current research, in other specialties such as primary care, demonstrates the integration of PAs has been associated with better revenue- performing practices, as well as increased patient access and satisfaction. It is important for the orthopaedic surgeon to understand the business logic and clinical experiences of integrating PAs into orthopaedic practices and service lines.
