Table 5.

Community care transitions per patient visit

Scenario Transition percentages (of patient visits) Transition percentages (of patient visits), excluding radiology and pathology
Individual clinician: all providers 60.2% (of 283 613) 51.2% (of 247 105)
Individual clinician: core specialties only 62.2% (of 226 381) 51.5% (of 190 015)
Medical group: all providers 50.2% (of 284 597) 40.6% (of 247 793)
Medical group: core specialties only 48.8% (of 226 346) 35.7% (of 189 929)

Inpatient and emergency visits were included in group scenarios and excluded from the individual scenarios. Differences in visits between individual and group scenarios are because we consider same day visits to the same group as part of the same visit in the group scenario.
