Certain structural and environmental factors other than technical combination of resources and firm size are hypothesized to affect medical practice output. Four groups of variables related to physician attributes and activities, practice organization and patient characteristics, community characteristics, and factors specific to medical groups are examined by regression for correlation with two measures of practice output: gross revenue and total patient visits. Some tentative conclusions are discussed in relation to policies that might increase practice output.
除了资源的技术组合和公司规模之外，某些结构和环境因素被假定会影响医疗实践产出。通过回归分析来检验与医生属性和活动、实践组织和患者特征、社区特征以及医疗集团特有的因素相关的四组变量，以确定它们与实践产出的两个指标（总收入和患者总就诊次数）之间的相关性。文中还讨论了一些与可能提高实践产出的政策相关的初步结论。
