AIM
To examine what impact the loss of funding had on the utilization of the oral pathology service.
METHODOLOGY
Biopsy records were retrieved and examined in the two year period before and after the elimination of the subsidies in 2003.
RESULTS
After the loss of funding, there was a 31% decrease in the number of specimens submitted from practitioners in private practice, with the greatest drop noted in submissions from endodontists.
CONCLUSION
Despite the immediate decrease in the number of biopsies submitted after the introduction of fee-for-service, the number of specimens being submitted appears to be on the rise again, as practitioners appear to recognize the value of a specialized oral pathology diagnostic service.
目的
研究资金损失对口腔病理服务利用的影响。
方法
在 2003 年取消补贴的前两年和后两年，检索并检查了活检记录。
结果
失去资金后，私人执业医生提交的标本数量减少了 31%，其中牙髓病医生的降幅最大。
结论
尽管在引入按服务收费后，活检提交数量立即减少，但提交的标本数量似乎再次上升，因为从业者似乎认识到专门的口腔病理诊断服务的价值。
