Can Fam Physician. 1980 Apr;26:527-33.
In a study of all referrals originating from an urban family practice unit, a referral rate of 7.5% was found-somewhat higher than that seen in most other studies.In general, through all categories studied, no significant differences were found among three groups of physicians (first and second year residents, staff physicians) with the exception of referrals to allergy. Dermatology and allergy were most commonly referred to. This differed from other practices studied. Not surprisingly, 71.2% of the reasons given for referring a patient included help with diagnosis and/or therapy.In most cases the consultants and referring physicians were pleased with each other's general behavior. However, the referring physicians were seen as deficient in supplying pertinent details of their patients' history, physical and lab data. In almost one third of cases the referring physicians felt that they had learned nothing from the referral.The residents and staff physicians acted very similarly in almost all aspects of the referral process, reflecting positive and negative referral habits.
在一项针对来自城市家庭医疗单位的所有转介的研究中，发现转介率为 7.5%，略高于大多数其他研究中的转介率。总的来说，在所有研究的类别中，除了过敏科的转介之外，三组医生（第一年和第二年住院医生、主治医生）之间没有发现显著差异。过敏、皮肤科和耳鼻喉科是最常被转介的科室。这与其他研究中的情况不同。毫不奇怪，71.2%的转介理由包括帮助诊断和/或治疗。在大多数情况下，会诊医生和转介医生对彼此的一般行为表示满意。然而，转介医生在提供患者病史、身体和实验室数据的相关细节方面被认为存在不足。几乎三分之一的情况下，转介医生认为他们从转介中没有学到任何东西。住院医生和主治医生在转介过程的几乎所有方面都表现得非常相似，反映了积极和消极的转介习惯。
