General practitioner acceptance of geriatric and rehabilitation assessment units.
A survey was undertaken to investigate general practitioner knowledge of, use of and satisfaction with the geriatric and rehabilitation services at two Sydney metropolitan hospitals, Hornsby and Ku-ring-gai Hospital and Mona Vale Hospital, as part of a large study evaluating the two services. Service records showed that general practitioner referrals account for 69% and 50% respectively of all patients referred to each service.
