A mathematical model was developed to predict experts' relative assessments of scarcity of personal health services. This model provides, quickly and inexpensively, estimates of the relative assessments experts would make of any area in the country, in the form of an Index of Medical Underservice. The index is being used by the Bureau of Community Health Services in the preliminary designation of medically underserved areas for the federal HMO program.
开发了一个数学模型来预测专家对个人健康服务稀缺性的相对评估。该模型能以医疗服务不足指数的形式,快速且低成本地提供专家对该国任何地区相对评估的估计值。社区卫生服务局正在使用该指数对联邦健康维护组织计划的医疗服务不足地区进行初步指定。
