Determinants of Hospitalist Efficiency: A Qualitative and Quantitative Study
Medical Care Research and Review, 06/26/09
Dynan L et al. - The authors find little evidence of quality focus or of greater use of community resources among hospitalists. Indeed, hospitalists were found to have no effect on the choice of postdischarge outlets. The authors document variation in care delivery among hospitalists. In particular, it was found that among hospitalists there is more variation in achieving shorter length of stay but less variation in use of diagnostic testing.
