Data collected from 900 general psychiatrists graduating from 27 state hospital and university residency programs between 1961 and 1976 is used to determine certain patterns of patient care productivity among psychiatrists. The study relates differences in amount of hours spent per patient per month and number of inpatients and outpatients in treatment to psychiatrists' medical background (U.S. or foreign) and residency training (state hospital or university). The findings indicative that state hospital and university residency programs may instill different clinical behaviors in their graduates; possible changes in psychiatric residency programs are suggested. The author also proposes that the study data can be used to make rough estimates of the numerical range of psychiatrists needed in health care systems or in the U.S. as a whole.
收集了1961年至1976年间从27个州立医院和大学住院医师项目毕业的900名普通精神科医生的数据，用于确定精神科医生患者护理生产力的某些模式。该研究将每月每位患者花费的小时数差异以及治疗中的住院患者和门诊患者数量与精神科医生的医学背景（美国或国外）和住院医师培训（州立医院或大学）联系起来。研究结果表明，州立医院和大学住院医师项目可能会向其毕业生灌输不同的临床行为；文中提出了精神科住院医师项目可能的变化。作者还建议，该研究数据可用于大致估算医疗保健系统或整个美国所需精神科医生的数量范围。
