A multidimensional approach to the study of the factors that determine medical care utilization is described, based on the hypothesis that different sets of social, economic, and situational background characteristics are significant determinants of utilization in different disease situations. The patterns of utilization are studied in the setting of a prepaid group practice plan for comprehensive medical care with a membership of over 100 000. Preliminary findings are presented on the characteristics of the sample population, the patterns of medical care utilization, and the utilization for various types of morbidity.
基于不同的社会、经济和情境背景特征集在不同疾病情况下是医疗服务利用的重要决定因素这一假设,本文描述了一种研究决定医疗服务利用因素的多维度方法。利用模式是在一个拥有超过10万名成员的预付费团体医疗实践计划的背景下进行研究的。文中呈现了关于样本人群特征、医疗服务利用模式以及各类发病率的医疗服务利用情况的初步研究结果。
