A third person physician observer timed 16 New Zealand general practitioners during a work day during summer months. Usual office hours for the 16 physicians occupied over seven hours, during which time the patient list averaged 26 persons. Greatest time span, 27 percent, used in diagnosis, but substantial time was spent in health education, counseling and administration. The distribution of patients' problems was greatest in respiratory disease, followed by musculoskeletal, dermatologic and urogenital. There is considerable similarity to practice patterns of rural physicians in Missouri, USA.
在夏季的一个工作日，一名第三方医生观察者对16名新西兰全科医生进行了计时。这16名医生的正常办公时间超过7小时，在此期间患者名单平均有26人。用于诊断的时间跨度最大，占27%，但在健康教育、咨询和管理方面也花费了大量时间。患者问题的分布以呼吸系统疾病最多，其次是肌肉骨骼、皮肤和泌尿生殖系统疾病。这与美国密苏里州乡村医生的执业模式有相当大的相似性。
