Renaud Legal et al., « Coût de l’ordonnance des médecins généralistes : une analyse sur les données de l’EPPM », Économie publique/Public economics, ID : 10670/1.nrnlao
This study aims to evaluate the possibility of profiling French general practitioners with high prescription costs from an indicator based on prescribing costs. It analyzes the sensibility of this indicator when taking into account differences in case-mix. The study shows that with the current information systems, specific indicators concerning a given therapeutic class or a given pathology are recommended in the evaluation of GP’s prescribing practice.
