Quality in Primary Care: Economic Approaches to Analysing Quality-Related Physician Behaviour

Michael Kuhn

Monograph from Office of Health Economics

Abstract: This monograph sets out the insights from applying an economic perspective to a fundamental problem for any health service: ensuring cost-effective care when outcomes from care are uncertain and there is imperfect information about the activities of providers and the factors outside their control which also affect outcomes. The focus is on primary care but the lessons carry over to other sectors.
