Physicians' views on resource availability and equity in four European health care systems

Published inBMC health services research, vol. 7, p. 137-146
Publication date2007
Abstract

In response to limited resources, health care systems have adopted diverse cost-containment strategies and give priority to differing types of interventions. The perception of physicians, who witness the effects of these strategies, may provide useful insights regarding the impact of system-wide priority setting on access to care.
