To compare the length of stay and charges for patients with pneumonia admitted in 1995 to the teaching and nonteaching services of a Northeastern teaching hospital, we reviewed the charts of 237 patients. Patients cared for by hospital-based generalists working with housestaff (teaching service) were discharged more quickly and with lower or equivalent charges than patients cared for by community-based attending physicians working either with housestaff (private teaching service) or alone (nonteaching service). Academic teaching services staffed by general medicine faculty may provide efficient inpatient pneumonia care.
为比较1995年入住一所东北部教学医院教学服务科室和非教学服务科室的肺炎患者的住院时间及费用,我们查阅了237例患者的病历。由在院普通科医生和住院医师一起工作(教学服务)照料的患者,比由社区主治医师和住院医师一起工作(私立教学服务)或单独工作(非教学服务)照料的患者出院更快,费用更低或相当。由普通内科教员组成的学术教学服务科室可能能提供高效的住院肺炎护理。
