  • Title: Australia's Flying Doctors re-evaluate medical services needed in the outback.
    Author: Brooks J.
    Journal: CMAJ; 1995 Mar 01; 152(5):745-8. PubMed ID: 7882237.
    Abstract:
    Australia's fabled Royal Flying Doctor Service recently undertook a soul-searching evaluation of its structure, operations and goals. Although there are no plans to stop providing emergency medical services to the residents of the outback, the service may refocus efforts on health promotion and prevention, since 75% of its work involves nonemergency care. Cost efficiency, the key phrase for health care around the globe, will be another goal.
