The impact of a pediatric practice on hospital admissions in a rural area
The establishment of a two-man pediatric practice in a rural area of New Mexico was followed by a decrease in hospital admissions of children and an increase in average length of stay. While other factors may have been involved, The reliance of the study region's children on pediatricians rather than family physicians for primary care may have contributed to the decline in hospitalization. Further research on the relationship between source of ca…

An Approach to Reducing the Adverse Effects of Broken Appointments in Primary Care Systems
A method is presented for adjusting the scheduling of appointments in ambulatory health care centers to reduce the deleterious effects of broken appointments. The essence of the methodology calls for scheduling and "expected number" of patients for a given clinic session. This "expected number" is calculated from estimated probabilities of appointment breaking, conditioned on patient characteristics which are deemed to be related to appointment-b…

The Ecology of Group Medical Practice in the United States
Group medical practice has grown slowly but steadily in the United States, as measured by the proportion of physicians in such units; these proportions, however, differ markedly among the 50 states. Relationships were explored between ten socioenvironmental factors and seven medical resource factors associated with the strength of group practice in each state, using both simple correlations and multivariate techniques. The findings point to great…
Understanding the Nature of the Random Fluctuations of the Hospital Daily Census
This investigation analyzes some social and economic criteria relevant to health planners who need to determine how many hospital beds are required in an area to meet a specified service requirement. Choices of different bed requirements as goals are shown to affect some of these criteria in opposite directions, resulting in a decision-making process which involves choices of trade-offs. The usefulness of probability distributions of the daily ce…
