Early career health shocks and long-run labour market outcomes
The economic literature on health shocks and labour market outcomes largely focuses on acute health shocks at older ages, leaving limited evidence on long-term labour-market consequences. By examining the consequences of incident hospital-diagnosed back disorders among early-career workers, this study addresses that gap in the literature. We link population-wide Danish administrative registers (1996-2017) to follow a cohort of 157,692 individuals…
Beyond the gate: Referral style and utilisation of primary sector specialist care
While variation in general practitioners' (GPs') practice style is well documented, little is known about how these differences shape patients' use of specialist care beyond formal gatekeeping regulation. Using population-wide data from Denmark, we exploit residual variation in referral rates measured at the GP practice level to classify practices as restrictive, moderate, or liberal referrers and link these patterns to chronic care among individ…
Exploring equity in accessing diabetes management treatment: A healthcare gap analysis
Healthcare inequities are often investigated empirically as associations between socio-economic characteristics and differences between observed healthcare utilisation and estimates of needs-based utilisation. However, the concept of 'need' is tricky to operationalise and utilisation may be contingent on inequities arising at an earlier stage. In this study, we apply a unique combination of register and survey data collected in 2019 to assess equ…
Cost and quality impacts of treatment setting for type 2 diabetes patients with moderate disease severity: Hospital- vs. GP-based monitoring
Effects of Point-Of-Care Testing in General Practice for Type 2 Diabetes Patients on Ambulatory Visits and Hospitalizations
Point-of-care testing (POCT) of HbA1c means instant test results and more coherent counseling that is expected to improve diabetes management and affect ambulatory visits and hospitalizations. From late 2008, POCT has been implemented and adopted by a segment of the general practices in the capital region of Denmark. The aim of this study is to assess whether the introduction of POCT of HbA1c in general practice (GP) has affected patient outcomes…
Health care inequality in free access health systems: The impact of non-pecuniary incentives on diabetic patients in Danish general practices
Variation in Point-of-Care Testing of HbA1c in Diabetes Care in General Practice
Background: Point-of-care testing (POCT) of HbA1c may result in improved diabetic control, better patient outcomes, and enhanced clinical efficiency with fewer patient visits and subsequent reductions in costs. In 2008, the Danish regulators created a framework agreement regarding a new fee-for-service fee for the remuneration of POCT of HbA1c in general practice. According to secondary research, only the Capital Region of Denmark has allowed GPs…
