title: Technology and staffing in Japanese university hospitals. Government versus private.
abstract: We examined staffing levels, acquisition of medical technologies, and utilization of those technologies in private and government teaching hospitals in Japan. Adjusting for size and case mix, we found that government hospitals acquire more technology, use that technology less, and employ a more highly skilled staff than do private hospitals.
