Governance absorption of volume-based procurement: Study of dual-track implementation in a public hospital
Background: Volume-based procurement (VBP) is commonly premised on a linear transmission assumption, whereby restructuring procurement rules and price mechanisms is expected to drive clinical substitution. In practice, however, hospital-level change often displays differentiation, phasing, and reversibility, suggesting that policy effects do not simply descend in a linear fashion. This article aims to identify the mechanisms through which policy …
