A total of 190 general practitioners in North-east England recorded the details of each home visit they made during a two-week period towards the end of 1969. Altogether 17,200 visits were made and these have been analysed. Two major points emerge: firstly, the extreme variation in visiting habits by general practitioners; and, secondly, the feeling that many home visits were unnecessary.
1969年底,英格兰东北部的190名全科医生记录了他们在两周内进行的每一次家访细节。总共进行了17200次家访,并对这些家访进行了分析。出现了两个主要问题:第一,全科医生家访习惯的极大差异;第二,许多家访被认为是不必要的。
