Abstract

Hospital administrators are seeking to identify and address unmet consumer demand. The following data compare consumer demand for pediatricians with the characteristics that pediatricians are making available to their prospective patients in eight major markets. The data source is Prologue, a service of Consumer Health Services Inc., Boulder, CO. Prologue provides health care information to consumers and marketing information and services to hospitals and physicians. Each month, Prologue handles 100,000 consumer calls and schedules more than 20,000 appointments with physicians; this data base is the source of the consumer information in the accompanying figures. The physician information comes from Prologue's data base of more than 10,000 participating physicians in more than 45 specialties.
