Do physicians' attitudes toward prioritization predict poor-health patients' access to care?

Physicians often face tight resource constraints, meaning they have to make trade-offs between which patients they care for and the amount of care received. Studies show that patients requiring many resources disproportionately suffer a loss of care when resources are constrained. This study uncovers whether physicians' attitudes toward prioritization of healthcare predicts poor-health patients' access to care.

Is there a link between health care utilisation and subjective well-being? An exploratory study among older Danes.

While extensive research has explored the influence of traditional factors such as socioeconomic position on health care utilisation, the independent role of an individual's well-being in their health care seeking behaviour remains largely uncharted territory. In this study, we delve into the role of subjective well-being (SWB) in health care utilisation. We use a unique link between survey data from a representative group of Danish citizens aged 50-80 and administrative register data containing information on health care utilisation and sociodemographics.

Going the extra mile? General practitioners' upcoding of fees for home visits.

General practitioners' (GPs') income often relies on self-reported activities and performances. They can therefore 'game the system' to maximize their remuneration. We investigate whether Danish GPs game their travel fees for home visits.

Mapping GPs' motivation — it's not all about the money: a nationwide cross-sectional survey study from Denmark.

Background: Understanding physicians' motivation may be essential for policymakers if they are to design policies that cater to physicians' wellbeing, job retention, and quality of care. However, physicians' motivation remains an understudied area.

Aim: To map GPs' work motivation.

Prioritization, Incentives, and Resource Use for Sustainable Dentistry: The EU PRUDENT Project.

The EU PRUDENT project aims to enhance the financing of oral health systems through novel evidence and implementation of better financing solutions together with citizens, patients, providers, and policy makers. The multicountry nature of the project offers unique windows of opportunity for rapid learning and improving within and across various contexts. PRUDENT is anticipated to strengthen capacities for better oral care financing in the EU and worldwide.
