Assessing the Problem-Oriented Approach to Care Delivery
It is evident that there is wide difference of opinion about the utility of the problem-oriented approach to health care delivery. Review of the literature on the subject suggests that ongoing debate over the merits of the approach has been fueled by incomplete information about important elements of the problem-oriented philosophy. This essay discusses the arguments for and against the approach, attempts to explain how misunderstandings have lim…
Impact of a Primary Care Group Practice on Emergency Room Utilization at a Community Hospital
This paper reports the effects on a community hospital's emergency room utilization that were brought about by the development of a primary care group practice. The practice, which has replaced the hospital's traditionally structured outpatient clinics, employs full-time, salaried physicians and provides evening office hours and 24-hour coverage. The primary care group appears to have effected a substantial reduction in pediatric emergency room u…
An Emergency Room??s Patients
Utilization of the emergency room at an urban community hospital is studied in a format designed to accomplish three complementary objectives: 1) to characterize a sample of individual patients, rather than an unweighted sample of visits, 2) to estimate the number of individuals served during a specified period and the magnitude of the relationship between these patients and the utilization of other hospital services, and 3) to introduce the pati…
A Study of Consumer Attitudes About Health Care
Contrary to the traditional role of the emergency room (ER) as a care source for the treatment of urgent medical needs, it is evident that substantial numbers of people now use the ER for the treatment of nonurgent problems. In this paper, we report on public opinion about the role of the ER, the accessibility of medical care, and factors that prompt the use of the ER rather than other sources of care. The data result from a community survey of h…
A Study of Consumer Attitudes About Health Care
This paper examines the patient's decision to select a source of care, offers a theoretical construct of this choice process, and reports on the results of a survey that tested the model among the population of Rochester, New York. Respondent reasons for selecting a source of ambulatory care are collapsed into categories that relate to individual perceptions of the utility of cost, time, convenience, sociopsychological factors, and the technical …
A Study of Consumer Attitudes About Health Care
The delivery of health care had emerged as one of the most important political issues of the 1970's, yet public attitudes about health issues remains a relatively unexplored subject. Little is known about the public's opinion of who should control the delivery of health care, about how the costs of health care are perceived, or about how the delivery of care should be financed. This paper relates respondent attitudes on these subjects to attitude…
