Information médicale et régulation de la médecine générale :  une approche comparative 

 - Paris :  IIAP,  oct./déc. 1995 
<br/><br/> Most industrial countries recently came to realise that an efficient regulation of health care services was no longer possible without an evaluation of the precise content of medical activity, particularly through the gathering of medical data. A comparative analysis has been carried out concerning the measures for controlling medical practices in the non-hospital sector in three coutries: Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The study shows that the question of control over medical practices has arisen very differently in these three countries and that the response to this question depends upon the general organisation of the system of health care and particularly the mechanisms of macro-economic regulation of health expenditure as well as the mechanisms of micro-economic regulation of the medical profession
