description To reduce physician burden, task shifting of clerical work from physicians to medical assistants is being promoted; however, it depends on hospitals. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 40 general physicians at Okayama University Hospital in December 2022 to investigate physicians' preferences toward task shifting. Compared to other tasks, most physicians thought that ordering examinations (14, 47%), replying to referral letters (19, 63%), and prescriptions (21, 70%) and medical record entries (22, 73%) should not be task shifted. Physicians' controversial opinions on task shifting maybe the reason behind the slow progress in task shifting.
