A general practice in a holiday area has problems in dealing with the demands for general medical services by holidaymakers. A survey was devised to study these demands and their effect on the work of the practice. Throughout the summer months every eighth patient seen in the surgery was a visitor and at the peak period every fifth patient was a temporary resident. Temporary residents requested proportionately more home visits late in the day and those staying more than 15 days had a higher doctor contact rate.
度假地区的一家普通诊所,在应对度假者对普通医疗服务的需求方面存在问题。为此设计了一项调查,以研究这些需求及其对诊所工作的影响。在整个夏季,诊所接待的每八位患者中就有一位是访客,在高峰期,每五位患者中就有一位是临时居民。临时居民在当天晚些时候要求上门问诊的比例更高,而且停留超过15天的居民与医生的接触率更高。
