Efficiency and Effectiveness of Patient Care Provided by Physicians in Rural and Urban Areas in Poland

CONCLUSIONS Five indicators developed in the study formed a scale, which is a step toward developing a uniform effectiveness indicator. Further research on consistently measuring effectiveness could significantly impact the development of sociometric research methodology. This study highlights the differences in efficiency and effectiveness of physicians working in rural vs urban areas and underscores the need for healthcare policymakers to consider these differences in addressing healthcare resource allocation.PMID:37553822 | DOI:10.12659/MSM.939169
