Quality of medical care as provided by physicians in Austria

Description of the Austrian physicians assorted by field of specialisation, age, region, intramural/ extramural contracts etc. during 1980–2000; furthermore, this study includes estimates as to the number of physicians that will be needed in Austria intra- and extramurally during the time frame of 2000 to 2020.

The Austrian list of physicians groups the physicians in Austria according to various criteria, which form the basis for describing the development from 1980 to 2000, relating regional distribution to the medical care situation.

The future demand for doctors in the intramural and extramural sectors is estimated for the period from 2000 to 2020 and compared to the expected supply of graduated doctors who have finished hospital training. From the results recommendations with regard to required post-graduation-training capacities are derived.
