The empirical derivation of profiles of healthcare utilisation of type II diabetes patients as opposed to self-defined profiles provides new insights in healthcare utilisation and demands of type II diabetes patients.
Efforts for a high spatial utilisation and the demand for a high neutron transmission lead to a thin-walled container design.
5 In addition to these significant individual-level issues, multimorbidity is associated with substantial societal costs due to increased healthcare utilisation, and the greater demands on the healthcare system that it creates.
Encouraging self-management has been viewed as one means of reducing health service utilisation and contributing to improved demand management.
Things in China are unlikely to get as bad as that, but capacity utilisation is low in many plants, making for dreadful operating economics, and demand, although still soaring, cannot keep up with the new investment.
In particular the study illustrates the importance of taking a health systems approach to evaluation that links utilisation and provision of services with the wider context of policy, patient information and demand, and provider motivations.
Vouchers and strategies incorporating supply and demand components, like the output-based approach (OBA), have demonstrated increases in service utilisation among targeted populations [ 6, 9, 11, 13– 16].
The study captured both supply factors (hospital capability of performing robotic surgery) and demand factors (patient demographic and economic characteristics) that may have differential impacts on the utilisation of robot-assisted radical prostatectomies, which were not previously examined.
On the relationship between "need" (numbers who would benefit from health care) and "demand" (the proportion of those in need who seek health care), complex factors, not all well understood, govern health-care utilisation by people with headache [8].
