Evers et al.[ 31] suggest a model of three factors that contribute to the volume of hospital utilization divided into predisposing factors, enabling factors and need factors.
Standardized for the Bavarian resident population, the volume of service utilization in the KORA-Age sample was around one fifth lower (3.4 versus 4.3 in-hospital days).
The index of risk of mortality indicates the risk of death in relation to a grouping of hospitalizations considered to be similar clinically and in terms of the volume of resource utilization.
Further analysis also reveals that the overall attitude toward Jusur LMS is significantly better at predicting frequency than the volume of Jusur LMS utilization.
Our results demonstrated also that the number of comorbidities is a strong predictor for the volume of medical health care utilization and support the increasing interest in specific patterns of comorbidity in clinical practice [ 9, 28].
Taiwan's healthcare system is market driven owing to the free-enterprise system and the number of private facilities [ 6], and competition for patients is extensive, especially in a high capacity healthcare system like Taiwan's where capacity may exceed volume of utilization [ 1, 2].
The figure shows that while a decrease in the volume of patient visits would lower CPT utilization level, an increase in the volume of patient arrivals would also increase CPT utilization level.
The figure shows that while a decrease in the volume of patient visits would lower CP utilization level, an increase in the volume of patient arrivals would also increase CP utilization level.
On the other hand, the effort required to reduce the receiver collision rate of ASO-TDMA (i.e., allocating time slots only at available sub-frames) can result in poorer channel utilization as the volume of ship traffic decreases.
The first option, increasing the total number of patients seen, appears difficult given existing high levels of child utilization; increasing the volume of adult patients may help spread fixed and semi-fixed costs.
