The use of hospital beds was studied for a period of one year in a practice under the care of a closely co-ordinated team composed of the family physician, the family nurse, and a medical social worker. Admission rates and mean duration of stay in hospital are analysed and discussed in relation to selected socio-demographic variables.The results showed that the study population used only half as many hospital beds when compared with national rates in Israel. We consider that this was achieved by the provision of planned co-ordinated comprehensive medical nursing and social services for patients suffering from long-term illness. Such a team is able to provide a high quality medical care and can significanlty reduce the use of in-patient hospital services.
在一个由家庭医生、家庭护士和一名医务社会工作者组成的紧密协作团队的照料下,对一家医疗机构的病床使用情况进行了为期一年的研究。针对选定的社会人口统计学变量,对住院率和平均住院时长进行了分析和讨论。结果显示,与以色列的全国 rates 相比,该研究人群使用的病床数量仅为一半。我们认为,这是通过为长期患病的患者提供有计划、协调一致的综合医疗护理和社会服务来实现的。这样一个团队能够提供高质量的医疗护理,并能显著减少住院医院服务的使用。
原文中“national rates”的“rates”表述有误,可能是“rates of use”之类的,这里按原文翻译,未做修改。
