The impact of Title VII departmental and predoctoral support on the production of generalist physicians in private medical schools.

Although federal support for medical education comes from several sources, only 1 targets generalist education--Title VII of the Public Health Service Act. With governmental streamlining and downsizing, the federal investment in medical education should be evaluated. We tested the relationship between 2 Title VII authorities and presence of a medical school generalist training infrastructure, and the relationship between this infrastructure and generalist production. Based on our definitions for receipt of Title VII support, generalist infrastructure, and generalist production, we found that, for private schools, sustained receipt of Title VII funds directed for undergraduate medical education is positively associated with presence of family medicine departments, which is positively associated with higher rates of generalist production. Establishment and maintenance of family medicine departments in private schools and their generalist production are positively associated with Title VII support. Title VII support in public schools, the major generalist producers, has less of a unique measurable impact on generalist production.

The National Practitioner Data Bank: the first 18 months.

In response to a need for information on the quality of professional practice and a perceived threat to the preservation of the peer review process, as well as to concern about the cost to society of incompetent physicians, Congress passed the Health Care Quality Improvement Act of 1986. The Act established a legal basis for protecting peer review and quality assurance activities. It also established a national reporting system, the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB), which is intended to ensure that appropriate information is available to be used in the peer review process.

Primary care epidemiology: new uses of old tools.

The emergence of interest in community oriented primary care (COPC) has emphasized the need for applications of epidemiologic principles to the practice of primary health care. A recent report from the Institute of Medicine has demonstrated the feasibility of COPC in a variety of practice settings, and has recommended the development of simple and easily applied quantitative techniques to support this form of primary care. The purposes of primary care practice, research, and education would be well served by techniques that improve the physician's knowledge of the patient population. Epidemiology offers the fundamental principles and methods to support primary care, but these have been neither appropriately modified nor integrated into primary care practice. The potential benefits of and the requirements for an epidemiology for primary care are presented and discussed.
