Criscione, Teri; And Others

Mental Retardation, v33 n6 p364-73 Dec 1995

Admissions of 370 people with developmental disabilities to a community hospital were examined to determine how coordinated care affected length of stay and hospital charges. The coordinated care admissions stayed less time and had lower charges compared to admissions who received their routine care by community physicians. (Author/SW)
