A preliminary analysis of variations in hospital discharge rates in Scotland

Pages 45-49 | Published online: 07 Jan 2009
 

Abstract

This article describes a preliminary attempt to identify and explain variations in hospital discharge rates across the Health Boards in Scotland, with reference to demand side and supply side factors. These factors do not explain the variations in rates. An area for future research is to analyse the effect of clinicians’ behaviour and attitudes on hospital discharge rates.
