Analysing provider experience through the lens of access confirms that the program is accessible and offers insights for those considering how to establish an emergency telepyschiatry service in other settings.
Drawing on Lipsky's notions of the use of 'discretion' and 'coping mechanisms' by street-level bureaucrats we analysed providers' modifications of the care components of the standards and protocols (counselling, referral, provision of abortion services) that enable them to meet the demands of their profession as well as their deep-rooted religious convictions and socialised views of morality.
Multivariate analyses of provider factors for each medical and surgical specialty are provided in Table 6.
For example, Wilson et al conducted an in-depth analysis of quality of care within 68 RWP-supported facilities, and reported on similar care outcomes as do we, but further stratified their analyses by provider type.
We conducted both bivariate and multivariate analyses on provider performance data.
We then calculated the percentages of criteria achieved for each readiness and performance standard and conducted bivariate and multivariate analyses of provider performance data.
In bivariate analyses, three provider measures were significantly associated with use of preventive care (public practice physicians, public practice health personnel, and private practice health personnel).
In bivariate analyses, two provider measures were significantly associated with both measures of curative care: private practice physicians, and public practice health personnel.
The purpose of this study was to analyse practice, provider and patient predictors of continuity of care in a large sample of primary care practices in Ontario, Canada.
Variables analysed by provider type included patient age, sex, race, VISN, visit primary diagnosis by International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9) code, procedures by Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code, and comorbidity score.
