Below you will find the link to a copy of the Georgia Physician and Physician Assistant Professions Data Book 2010/2011. This document marks the 24th year the Georgia Board for Physician Workforce has examined the supply and distribution of Georgia's physicians. For the first time, this report examines the supply and distribution of Georgia's physician assistant workforce. The data used to prepare this report was provided by the Georgia Composite Medical Board.
Monitoring the supply and distribution of physicians and physician assistants by specialty and geographic location provides beneficial information to: (1) identify areas of need; (2) plan for health services; and (3) monitor and evaluate the number of practicing physicians and physician assistants.

HealthVoices
Healthcare Cost and Survey Results
Rollout of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) has been bumpy, at best. If nothing else, the focus on the ACA has kept healthcare at the fore. The debate surrounding the law continues to be intense, as elected officials, providers, payers and consumers all seek to understand the implementation of this historic legislation. This issue of HealthVoices provides a snapshot of how Georgians view health reform as the new law continues to take hold.

On October 1, 2013, open enrollment began for state and federal health insurance marketplaces, giving consumers a new opportunity to shop for and purchase health insurance. In preparation for this significant change in health insurance access, the Georgia Health Policy Center (GHPC) and Communities Joined in Action (CJA) hosted a conference for Georgia safety net providers (community health collaboratives, clinics, and hospitals), focused on strategic thinking and opportunities around health reform and enrollment. Safety net providers are in a unique position to provide marketplace enrollment support to Georgia's under- and uninsured. Marketplace health insurance purchase may not only benefit the patient, but also providers, who may gain a new payer source for services. This resource sheet is designed answer key questions that surfaced from the conference of more than 75 attendees from across the state.
