Sammanfattning
An assessment of community nursing in relation to physician care has been made in a Swedish primary care district. The staff was organized in health care teams. A totally integrated, comprehensive care service for everyone in the geographically defined district was made possible, as all members of the team used the same medical records. Visits in district care (district nurse, practical nurse) amounted to more than 50 % of the visits to the teams. The visiting pattern in district care was dominated by the young and the old, the ages below 5 years of age making 3.7 visits per year, and the ages above 75 years making 10.0 visits.
