Abstract
There has been a tremendous increase in the number of patients receiving care from physicians in group practice rather than in solo practice. To determine whether group size influences the number of tests ordered for ambulatory patients, we studied the records of 351 hypertensive patients cared for by 30 internists in group or solo private practice.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
