Medical staff resources model and methodology: ambulatory/outpatient services

This paper describes a methodology that has practical applicability in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of ambulatory/outpatient services at site specific health care organizations. Fiscal year 1990 cost and reimbursement data are used for baseline values, however the methodology remains constant, for use in future years, by updating fiscal year by fiscal year as increases occur. This conceptual model can be used by military, other public sector, and civilian community health center ambulatory/outpatient services organizations that require 24 hour medical staff coverage, and economically feasible cost reimbursement accountability.
