There has been much debate as to whether quality points allocated through the new general medical services contract are more difficult to achieve for practices in deprived and rural areas. We used multiple regression to assess the relationships between deprivation, rurality and the number of overall quality points achieved by each practice. Multiple deprivation was significantly inversely related to quality points achieved. Practices in villages and towns gained 2% more quality points than urban areas and hamlets.
关于通过新的全科医疗服务合同分配的质量分数对于贫困和农村地区的医疗机构而言是否更难实现,一直存在诸多争议。我们运用多元回归分析来评估贫困程度、乡村属性与每个医疗机构所获得的总体质量分数之间的关系。多重贫困与所获得的质量分数显著负相关。乡镇地区的医疗机构比城市地区和小村庄的医疗机构多获得2%的质量分数。
