Two pediatric primary care services in Ofakim, Israel, were compared with respect to their use of hospital emergency room facilities and hospitalizations. The services compared were a community-based university pediatric clinic in which preventive and curative care were merged and a traditional service in which preventive and curative care were provided by different agencies. The university clinic had a considerably lower rate of emergency room visits/1,000 children in the population. The proportion of children who were admitted to hospital, among those referred to the emergency room, was much higher for the university clinic. Consistent differences were not found in the number of hospital admissions/1,000 children in the population, nor in the mean duration of stay of hospitalized children.
以色列奥法基姆的两家儿科初级保健服务机构在使用医院急诊室设施和住院情况方面进行了比较。所比较的服务机构一家是社区大学儿科诊所，该诊所将预防保健和治疗保健合并在一起；另一家是传统服务机构，其预防保健和治疗保健由不同机构提供。大学诊所每1000名儿童中的急诊室就诊率要低得多。在送往急诊室的儿童中，大学诊所的住院儿童比例要高得多。每1000名儿童中的住院人数以及住院儿童的平均住院时间均未发现一致的差异。
