Unraveling the drivers of regional variation in healthcare spending by analyzing prevalent chronic diseases.Published in
BMC Health Serv Res 2018; 18(1):323Publiekssamenvatting
To indicate inefficiencies in health systems, previous studies examined regional variation in healthcare spending by analyzing the entire population. As a result, population heterogeneity is taken into account to a limited extent only. Furthermore, it clouds a detailed interpretation which could be used to inform regional budget allocation decisions to improve quality of care of one chronic disease over another. Therefore, we aimed to gain insight into the drivers of regional variation in healthcare spending by studying prevalent chronic diseases.PMID
