Defining Heavy Use of Prescription Drugs
Many studies showed that a small proportion of those using health care account for a large proportion of the total care consumed. These studies had different goals, used various designs and definitions of the heavy user, examined different types of use, and used different units of measurement. Common to all of them was an effort to define and study the heaviest users of care. In some studies the heavy user was defined according to arbitrarily cho…
Measures of Continuity of Care
In an empirical study using data from a health center in Sweden, correlation coefficients were computed among nine different measures of continuity of care, five of them visit-based and four individual-based. Generally, the correlations were high. This may be due, in part, to the similar behavior of the measures for people making few visits. The correlations were also quite high, however, when the sample was restricted to people with many visits.…
