Who goes to after-hours clinics? Demographic analysis of an after-hours clinic

Can Fam Physician. 1993 Feb:39:266-70.

Abstract

This study examines an after-hours clinic developed by family physicians of a major community hospital. The physicians have notable linkages with the hospital, and most of the patients come from the practices of the physicians on staff. Hospital-linked clinics of this type could have an increasingly important role as mechanisms of health care delivery continue to evolve.
