Agenda

Issue at the intersection of freedom of prescription, care's quality and control costs, supervision of medical practice has long been perceived as a fundamental lever for improving the efficiency of the health system. The change in practice has been the subject of numerous recommendations and regulations, including successive laws of  social security funding .

However, much room for improvement remain, regarding observed geographic disparities.

How to make medical prescription and implementation  more pertinent? That is the question that will bei debated during this conference

PROGRAMME

• 9h00 – Introduction 
  Hervé MONANGE, Deputy Director of the "Commissariat" of Policy Planning
  Didier TABUTEAU, Head of the health Chair of Sciences Po
  

• 9:30 – Round table 1 : Practices disparities of health professionals: which realities?

Administrative data on the actions and prescriptions help highlight disparities in medical practices. These differences can be explained by the health of the local population but also for reasons relating to the local supply combined with individual factors. What conclusion can we draw from practices variations today?

• 11:15 – Round table 2 : What  tools to supervise practices, with what effect?

The analysis of practices disparities has resulted in many countries to adopt regulations to modify the behavior of actors. Control modes are numerous. They can go from simple information professionals about best practices to the necessary prior approval of their prescriptions by outside agencies, like the mechanisms of "pre-authorization" set up by insurers in the United States. What strategies are carried out in France? What conclusions can we do?

• Discussion
  

• 12:45 – Free lunch
  

• 14:00 – Round Table 3: How to evaluate at best the medical practices?

To better understand the differences between practices and then reduce them, it is necessary to evaluate them better. This assessment, to be effective, should not be isolated but  be linked to a training effort intensified in the health system approach. What are the underlying tools? From associations and foreign examples, what innovative devices could we imagine?
