  • Rural Health Research

    Open AccessLaura‐Mae Baldwin, Roger A Rosenblatt et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Rural Health1999

    Rural and urban areas have significant differences in the availability of medical technology, medical practice structures and patient populations. This study uses 1994 Medicare claims data to examine whether these differences are associated with variation in the content of practice between physicians practicing in rural and urban areas. This study compared the number of patients, outpatient visits, and inpatient visits per physician in the differ…

  • Two Decades of Experience in the University of Washington Family Medicine Residency Network

    Open AccessLaura‐Mae Baldwin, L Gary Hart et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Rural Health1995

    This study describes how graduates of the University of Washington Family Medicine Residency Network who practice in rural locations differ from their urban counterparts in demographic characteristics, practice organization, practice content and scope of services, and satisfaction. Five hundred and three civilian medical graduates who completed their residencies between 1973 and 1990 responded to a 27‐item questionnaire sent in 1992 (84% response…

  • The Use of Medical Resources by Residency-Trained Family Physicians and General Internists

    Daniel C Cherkin, Roger A Rosenblatt et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1987

    This study compared the use of medical resources by recently trained family physicians and general internists. Analyses are based on records of 3,737 adult office encounters with 132 family physicians and 2,250 adult office encounters with 102 general internists. General internists are twice as likely as family physicians to order blood tests, blood counts, chest x-rays, and electrocardiograms for their adult patients. Internists also spend more …

  • The Effect of Including Secondary Diagnoses on the Description of the Diagnostic Content of Family Practice

    Ronald Schneeweiss, Daniel C Cherkin et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1984

    The diagnoses that physicians record are an important part of the mosaic that describes what they do. Various classifications are used to code the recorded diagnoses to permit the identification of specific conditions. The more specific the classification, the more readily this can be achieved, and for all its faults the International Classification of Diseases1 is the most widely used classification of both hospital and ambulatory diagnoses. For…

  • Diagnosis Clusters

    Ronald Schneeweiss, Roger A Rosenblatt et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1983

    A clustering method for the analysis of ambulatory morbidity data is presented. This approach reduces spurious variations resulting from idiosyncratic diagnosis labeling and coding habits of physicians and facilitates the analysis of the content of ambulatory medical care through the use of aggregate morbidity data. The clusters provide a tool that allows for the comparison of the content of practice based on different factors such as provider tr…

  • Do Postcard Reminders Improve Influenza Vaccination Compliance

    Eric B Larson, James Bergman et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1982

    A randomized trial of various postcard reminder "cues" was performed to improve understanding of health-related behavior and to find better strategies for improving influenza vaccination compliance. Data were gathered on 283 high-risk patients (92 per cent response rate) who received: 1) a "neutral" cue simply announcing the availability of vaccine; 2) a "Health-Belief-Model" card written to take advantage of the association between certain healt…
