安大略女医生花更多的时间治疗病人,由于按服务付费而挣得的收入较少;2026年4月开始的新制度可能缩小这一差距。
Female Ontario doctors spend more time with patients, earning less due to fee-for-service pay; a new system starting April 2026 may close the gap.
根据对1 050多名医生进行的2023年调查,安大略省的女家庭医生与病人在一起的时间比男医生多15%至20%——每次探视约增加4分钟。
Female family doctors in Ontario spend 15 to 20 percent more time with patients—about four extra minutes per visit—than male doctors, according to a 2023 survey of over 1,050 physicians.
这种时间密集、以病人为中心的办法与更好的保健结果有关,但由于安大略省的收费服务模式,造成年度收入差距45 500美元,这种模式将长期奖励数量。
This time-intensive, patient-centered approach is linked to better health outcomes but results in a $45,500 annual income gap due to Ontario’s fee-for-service model, which rewards volume over time.
专家说,即将于2026年4月启动的混合补偿制度可以帮助弥补这一差距,办法是对直接和间接护理时间进行估值,支持更富有同情心、以关系为基础的医药。
Experts say the upcoming blended compensation system, launching in April 2026, could help close this gap by valuing both direct and indirect care time, supporting more compassionate, relationship-based medicine.
