This article considers measures that indicate the degree of regionalization within a hospital system. In particular, regional independence is characterized with a "self-sufficiency" index. The basis of these measures is the use of facilities in one region by residents of another region, that is, interregional flows. Examples of the use of the suggested measure in the Nova Scotia hospital system are presented.
本文探讨了表明医院系统内区域化程度的措施。具体而言，区域独立性以“自给自足”指数为特征。这些措施的依据是另一区域居民对某一区域设施的使用情况，即区域间流动。文中给出了新斯科舍省医院系统中使用该建议措施的实例。
