REVIEW
J Fitzgerald, D A Freund, B Hughett, G J McHugh
The documented growing morbidity, mortality, and disability from asthma indicate a failure in effective delivery of appropriate care. This article reviews how different components of organizational technology in hospitals, free-standing emergency centers, physician practices, prepaid groups, and schools may be linked to asthma care and asthma outcomes. A framework to address how practice patterns, risk factors, and outcomes relate to organizational characteristics, such as time orientation, uncertainty, available technology, standardization of work, specialization of work, coordination, and control strategies, is presented...

When a free-standing emergency clinic (FEC) unexpectedly opened in Montgomery County, Maryland, the local emergency medical services council thought the FEC's operational plan was in conflict with the community concept of emergency medical services (EMS). Because there were no agreed upon factual guidelines with which to judge the FEC, the council established a task force to study the problem and to develop standards and guidelines. This article is based on that report. We recommend that if a facility physically separate from a hospital uses the words "emergency" in offering medical services, it means at least 24 hours of operation with standards at least equal to those offered by the local EMS system...

COMPARATIVE STUDY
R M Yunker, M K Levine, A W Sajid
To determine whether the patients of free-standing emergency centers are similar to the patients seen by family physicians, the age, sex, time of visit, diagnoses, laboratory work, and charges for 1,062 patients from two free-standing emergency centers were compared with available data on the patients seen by a national sample of family physicians. Patients from the emergency centers were predominantly in the 20- to 44-year age range (73.8 percent), were male (56.5 percent), and sought trauma-related treatment or medical examinations (51...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
R Yunker, M Levine, A Sajid
We studied the pediatric patient population of two free-standing emergency clinics (FECs) through an audit of medical records for 20 days randomly selected throughout 1983. We recorded the age, sex, number of visits, patient diagnoses, laboratory work, and charges. This information was compared with earlier national studies of physician practice. Of the 1062 visits audited, 27.6 percent were by patients 21 years of age or younger. This number is comparable to the percentage of office visits made to a national sample of general and family practitioners but well below the same figure for pediatricians...

COMPARATIVE STUDY
S A Chesteen, S E Warren, F R Woolley
Because of the increasing popularity of free-standing emergency care centers as a source of primary care services, this cross-sectional study was conducted to compare four of them with two family practice centers that provided extended hours. A total of 2,339 patient encounters were examined with data obtained from both physicians and patients. The factors that were found to be a basis for discrimination between the two types of practice were the cost of care and the patient's satisfaction with convenience and personal attention from the physicians...

COMPARATIVE STUDY
R Yunker, M Levine, A Sajid
We studied the nature of the visits of patients aged 11-20 years to three free-standing emergency centers (FECs) and compared the mean to the national studies of visits by this age group to pediatricians and family/general physicians. Differences in sex distribution, diagnostic procedures, and diagnostic categories of the FECs emerged. Our results suggest that adolescents seek FEC care for reasons different than those prompting visits to the traditional physician's office.

JOURNAL ARTICLE
A L Kellermann, B B Hackman
To study the extent and nature of transfers of emergency department (ED) patients because of inability to pay, we audited all telephone requests and actual patient transfers from private hospital EDs and their affiliated free-standing emergency centers to the ED of the Regional Medical Center at Memphis (the Med), a publicly subsidized hospital, between June 1 and August 31, 1986. Transfers to the Med's "special care" centers were assumed to represent tertiary care referrals and were excluded. During the 92-day study interval, ED physicians at the Med handled 190 telephone requests for transfer...
