The figure gives the ratio of primary care physicians in selected hospital service areas to the lowest and highest ranked areas. It also compares the areas to the U.S. average. The number of primary care physicians above (+) or below (-) the number predicted by the experience in the benchmark area in 1993 is in parentheses. For example, the number of primary care physicians per 100,000 allocated to the residents of Cambridge, Massachusetts, was 3.2 times higher than Woonsocket, Rhode Island. If the level of primary care physicians of the 1993 Woonsocket benchmark had been attained for the residents of Cambridge, 162 fewer primary care physicians would have been needed.
