大多数关于医生服务使用的研究都集中在病人的特征上，以解释使用中的差异。本研究采用了国家医疗保健支出调查的数据，以分析使用医生进行门诊护理的差异，以及这些差异归因于医生、患者或两者的程度。在患者自付费用和医生/人口比率存在差异的地方，医生被证明是利用差异的唯一来源。总体而言，医生被发现主要是出于医疗而不是经济方面的考虑。
: Most studies of the use of physician services have focused on characteristics of the patient to explain variations in use. This study employed data from the National Medical Care Expenditure Survey to analyze differences in the use of physicians for ambulatory care and the extent to which these differences were attributable to the physician, the patient, or both. Where differences in patients' out-of-pocket expenses and the physician/population ratio existed, physicians proved to be the sole source of utilization differences. Overall, physicians were found to be motivated primarily by medical rather than financial concerns.
