Variation in HbA1c prescription for patients with diabetes in French general practice : an observational study prior to the implementation of a P4P programme

Abstract

Prior to a large diffusion of a pay-for-performance programme (P4P) in primary care in France, it seemed of particular interest to identify, the doctors not performing optimally who could be the main target of this programme. Based on the example of HbA1c prescription for patients with diabetes, this study examined the impact of general practitioner's (GPs) characteristics on the variation of a P4P indicator for diabetes care, i.e. the percentage of patients undergoing three or four HbA1c tests during one year.
