Analysis of utilization data from maternity units in a ten-county region in New York indicates that more small rural maternity units exist in that region than are needed. A mathematical model is used to ascertain optimal unit sizes, and criteria are developed by which units could be combined for more efficient use of facilities.Mesh:
