A major concern to the rural citizens of the United States is the availability of health care in their community. Community leaders and physicians considering locating in rural communities need a method by which they can evaluate a community's potential for supporting a physician. A detailed survey was conducted in 1986 of 25 physicians' practices in rural Oklahoma. Data were collected from the physicians on their number of patient visits and practice costs in 1985. Using this information, the authors designed a model to project the economic feasibility of establishing a physician practice in a specific community. This model can be used to project the number of physician visits a community can generate, the costs to establish and maintain a clinic, and the gross and net income of the practice.
美国农村居民主要关心的问题是其所在社区能否提供医疗保健服务。考虑在农村社区落户的社区领导人和医生需要一种方法来评估一个社区支持一名医生的潜力。1986年，对俄克拉荷马州农村地区25名医生的诊疗业务进行了详细调查。收集了这些医生1985年的患者就诊数量和诊疗成本数据。利用这些信息，作者设计了一个模型来预测在特定社区建立医生诊疗业务的经济可行性。该模型可用于预测一个社区能够产生的医生就诊数量、建立和维持一家诊所的成本以及该诊疗业务的毛收入和净收入。
