Abstract
Blue Shield of Massachusetts undertook a one-year study in 1981 to determine if a group of obstetrician/gynecologists could be motivated to reduce average length of stay (ALOS) for normal deliveries, cesarean sections, and hysterectomies. The group decreased ALOS for all three procedures. Additional studies are required to determine what portion of the decrease in ALOS can be attributed to change in physician behavior.Keywords
