Capitation achieves a competitive edge, yet many subacute care providers have not aggressively pursued this strategy. To take steps toward capitation, the following points need to be addressed: (1) determine what type of capitation to pursue; (2) establish the proper infrastructure to support capitated services; (3) implement a case management system; and (4) practice total quality management.

OBJECTIVES AND METHODS: A survey was conducted of Canadian family physicians about their usual sore throat management practices. Physician knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and the effect of selected patient factors on variation in practices was assessed. RESULTS: The majority of physicians did not follow North American expert recommendations to usually take a throat culture and wait for culture results before prescribing an antibiotic. Similarly to the practices of family physicians in many countries, they favoured a clinical policy of selective use of throat cultures and decisions about the need for antibiotics based on clinical judgement. CONCLUSIONS: Physician practice site, demographics, knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and patient factors did not explain differences in approach. The implications for antibiotic utilization in the management of upper respiratory tract infections are discussed.
