- Abstract
Nurses' evaluations of an open and closed medical staff were compared in two 3-mo. studies in the same nursing care facility. The testing modality included consideration of physician performance with respect to verbal and written communication with nurses, their ability to educate and stimulate nurses, to comprehend nursing needs, and to understand patients' behavior. Results of the two surveys demonstrated more frequent and effective visits to patients by physicians working in a closed medical staff. The findings indicate a closed medical staff is recommended for a program of comprehensive patient care in a nursing home setting.
