Geographic Variations in Health Care - What Do We Know and What Can Be Done to Improve Health System Performance?
/ Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
more...less...
This study documents geographic variations for high-cost and high-volume procedures in select OECD countries. It finds that there are wide variations not only across countries, but within them as well. A mix of patient preferences and physician practice styles likely play an important part in this, but what part of the observed variations reflects over-provision, or whether there are unmet needs, remain largely unexplained. This report helps policy makers better understand the issues and challenges around geographic variations in health care provision and considers the policy options.
