  • Title: Determinants of hospital utilization in the Netherlands.
    Author: van der Gaag J, Rutten FF, van Praag BM.
    Journal: Health Serv Res; 1975; 10(3):264-77. PubMed ID: 1225868.
    Abstract:
    Hospital use in the Netherlands is examined in a cross-section analysis of 1969 and 1971 data for 120 service regions. Elasticities of admissions with respect to bed supply and supply of general practitioners are calculated, and the substitutability of first level care (by general practitioners) for hospital care is considered. Substitution effects found indicate that the Dutch government's plan to reduce the ratio of hospital beds to population is feasible.
