Abstract

The authors conducted a study at an urban state hospital to determine if a patient's place of residence—within or outside the hospital's service district—was reflected in the admission rates or the quality of care received. No differences between in-district and out-of-district patients could be found on any parameter studied. The authors believe the results support the unique role of the state hospital as a facility that accepts its mandate as a referral of last resort.
