Home visiting rates in a rural general practice were compared for 12 months before and 12 months after five branch surgeries were closed. In villages whose surgeries were closed no statistically significant change occurred in the new or repeat visiting rates. The consulting rate at the main surgery remained constant over the two years. Although visiting rates to villages that had had a branch surgery did not change after the closures, the pattern of visiting to these villages became more rational.
对五家分诊所关闭前后各12个月的农村全科医疗家访率进行了比较。在诊所关闭的村庄,新患者或复诊患者的家访率没有发生统计学上的显著变化。两年间,主诊所的诊疗率保持不变。虽然关闭分诊所后,曾设有分诊所的村庄的家访率没有变化,但这些村庄的家访模式变得更加合理。
