by the fact that practice setting accounts for more than 90 percent of the explanatory power of the
full model. R-square for full model=0.0730; R-square for model with practice setting only=0.0687. 1 Practice had IT support for qero or one of five specified patient care functions. 2 Reference group. Comparison with reference group is statistically significant at **p <.001, *p <.05. Source: HSC Community Tracking Study Physician Survey, 2001 |
