Q12:
In Kantovia, physicians' income comes from insurance companies, which require physicians to document their decisions in treating patients and to justify deviations from the companies' treatment guidelines. Ten years ago physicians were allowed more discretion. Most physicians believe that the companies' requirements now prevent them from spending enough time with patients. Yet the average amount of time a patient spends with a physician during an office visit has actually increased somewhat over the last ten years.

Which of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy between physicians' perceptions and the change in the actual time spent?

A. Patients are more likely to be in a hurry nowadays and are less willing to wait a long time to see their physician.
B. Physicians today typically have a wider range of options in diagnosis and treatment to consider with the patient before prescribing.
C. Physicians are increasingly likely to work in group practices, sharing the responsibility of night and weekend work.
D. Most patients would rather trust their physicians than their insurance companies to make decisions about their treatment.
E. Since the insurance companies pay physicians a set amount for each office visit, it is to physicians' financial advantage to see as many patients as possible.

Answer: B

解釋前後矛盾，找出差異處
選B

[kaijen]

不好意思 我不太懂為什麼要選B耶
B好像跟前提矛盾 前提說十年前醫生有較多的裁量權
我選D 病人比較信任醫生 因此願意花較多時間在看診上
有人可以告訴我為甚麼B對D錯嗎?

[hwatai]

跟據追夢的解釋，醫生have a wider range ... to consider...暗示著多花時間，但不是花在病人身上，而是花在document之上；然而就病人的角度，就醫的時間的確拉長了，不管醫生是在與病人對話還是在做document~

此題是不是問哪個選項最能用來解決醫師的認知與診斷時間改變的差異??

感覺像是explain類型的問題
差異：醫師認為 - 保險公司要他們縮短診療時間， 但是平均來說，過去十年病人每次看病診療的時間卻不減反增
請你解釋為什麼看病診療時間為何不像保險公司預期的結果縮短，反而變長了

A選項，病人的行為與本論述無關
C選項，group practice 或者share responsibility都沒有辦法說明診斷時間拉長的理由
D選項無相關，因為病人不管是信任醫師或者保險公司，都不能解釋看病時間為何增加
E選項，保險公司支付醫師較高的費用，讓醫師能好好診斷。此論述剛好與本題相矛盾。
B選項恰好解釋了醫師為何要拉長診斷的時間，因為現在的醫師有較多的療法處方可以作為選擇，也就順道說明了與保險公司立場的差異

推，解釋的很詳細！

Q:Which of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy between physicians’ perceptions and the change in the actual time spent?
以下哪個最有助於解決這明顯的不一致(醫生的想法與實際所花之變化的差異)?
B.Physicians today typically have a wider range of options in diagnosis and treatment to consider with the patient before prescribing.
今日的醫生一般有較廣泛的診斷和治療選項(在開處方前)要與病人一起考量.
-->所以基本上要花比以前多時間.....儘管花不夠(醫生的想法), 還是比以前長(實際所花之變化)
