This article describes the extent to which hospitals use different integrative processes to assimilate physicians and assesses the extent to which their use is associated with managed care penetration and hospital characteristics. Results from a national survey of 1,495 community hospitals indicate that these integrative processes are quite prevalent. The use of integrative processes tends to be more prevalent in hospitals that are large, urban, involved in teaching, and members of hospitals systems. Use of particular integrative processes also appears to be associated with different thresholds of managed care penetration.
本文描述了医院在多大程度上采用不同的整合流程来吸纳医生,并评估了这些流程的使用与管理式医疗渗透程度以及医院特征之间的关联程度。一项对1495家社区医院的全国性调查结果表明,这些整合流程相当普遍。整合流程的使用在大型、城市、参与教学以及属于医院系统成员的医院中往往更为普遍。特定整合流程的使用似乎也与管理式医疗渗透的不同阈值相关。
