Various aspects of service provision were measured as well as practice organisation, location of the practice and personal backgrounds of the GP. Completed questionnaires were received from 7.233 respondents, an overall response rate of 47%. Sources of variation have been analysed by using a two-level model. Rural practices provided more comprehensive services regardless of the health care system. Approximately half of the variation was explained by features of a country's health care system. (...) |
