Emergency medical admissions to hospital—the influence of supply factors

Community hospitals – the place of local service provision in a modernising NHS: an integrative thematic literature review

“…Round and colleagues [52] reported that, after adjusting for deprivation, other forms of residential care, distance from a district general hospital and morbidity, access to CHs accounted for 3.9 additional admissions per 1,000 population per year. So, while CHs may reduce admissions to other healthcare facilities, overall admission rates may be higher where CHs are available.…”

One known factor is that lower admission rates are seen for practices at a greater distance from their DGH.…”
