The Next Step Towards Making Use Meaningful: Electronic Information Exchange and Care Coordination Across Clinicians and Delivery Sites
BACKGROUND: Care for patients with chronic conditions often requires coordination between multiple physicians and delivery sites. Electronic Health Record (EHR) use could improve care quality and efficiency in part by facilitating care coordination. OBJECTIVE: We examined the association between EHR use and clinician perceptions of care coordination for patients transferred across clinicians and delivery sites. RESEARCH DESIGN: Repeated surveys o…
Productivity and Turnover in PCPs: The Role of Staff Participation in Decision-Making
BACKGROUND: Efforts to redesign primary care practices are beginning to address how decisions are made in the practice setting. This study contributes to these efforts by examining associations between staff participation in decision-making, productivity, and turnover in primary care practices. The study is informed by organizational theories of participation that emphasize cognitive and affective influences on employee output and behavior. METHO…
Support for Smoking Cessation Interventions in Physician Organizations: Results From a National Study
OBJECTIVES: To document the extent to which physician organizations, defined as medical groups and independent practice associations, are providing support for smoking cessation interventions and to identify external incentives and organizational characteristics associated with this support. METHODS: This research uses data from the National Study of Physician Organizations and the Management of Chronic Illness, conducted by the University of Cal…
Type of Health Care Coverage and the Likelihood of Being Screened for Cancer
OBJECTIVES: This study explored whether type of outpatient health coverage affected the likelihood of men and women aged 20 to 64 years receiving recommended cancer screening procedures. METHODS: Data from the 1989 and 1990 California Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Surveys were used to compare Pap smear, mammogram, fecal occult blood test, and proctoscopic examination rates for adults with three different types of private health care coverag…
Environmental Selection and Physician Supply
A new conceptual framework for explaining physician distribution and forecasting regional physician supply is presented. Unlike existing efforts at explaining physician distribution, which rely on models of individual physicians making choices regarding location of practice (e.g., economic and psychological models), this paper develops an environmental selection model which views populations of physicians as the unit of analysis and identifies th…
A Suggestion for Improving the Behavioral Model of Physician Utilization
Factors Associated with Utilization of the Swine Flu Vaccination Program among Senior Citizens in Tompkins County
The health belief model is tested in the context of the swine flu vaccination program for senior citizens. Analysis is based on 232 responses to a questionnaire mailed to a simple random sample of 500 senior citizens in Tompkins County, New York. Social and psychologic variables identified by the model as important in determining utilization of preventive health services are: perceived susceptibility and severity of disease, perceived efficacy an…
The Effect of Income on Use of Preventive Care: An Evaluation of Alternative Explanations

Life Change and Recovery from Surgery
model hypothesizes that higher levels of life change experienced prior to surgery will be related positively to the number of problems perceived by patients with their postoperative recovery. The physiological reaction model predicts that life change will be positively related to the patients' actual morbidity postoperatively. Inconsistent results were found for each model. Small effects in the direction predicted by the sensitization model were …
