Abstract
Office records of 904 patient visits during six weeks in 1970 were examined for conformance to predetermined optimal standards of physician performance in seven categories of diagnoses or conditions. No overall evidence was found that primary-care physicians performed differently for the elderly than for younger adult patients in the office setting. (JAMA229:1621-1622, 1974)Keywords
