  Mange henvisninger til BUP blir avvist, og det er stor variasjon i andelen avslåtte henvisninger mellom institusjoner, men det er lite systematisk kunnskap om hva som kjennetegner barn og ungdom som får sine henvisninger avvist. Vi bidra med slik kunnskap gjennom å analysere kjennetegn hos pasient/familie og fastlege som påvirker sannsynligheten for at en henvisning blir avvist. I gjennomsnitt avviser HF-ene 22 % av henvisningene til BUP, og andelen henvisninger som avvises varierer fra 3 %-31 %. Analysene indikerer at variasjonen i liten grad kan forklares med ulike egenskaper til pasientene og henvisende fastleger. Vi finner at det er en betydelig sosioøkonomisk gradient i de avviste henvisningene i det sannsynligheten for at henvisningen avvises er i underkant av 10 % høyere for pasienter hvis foreldres høyeste utdanningsnivå er grunn- eller videregående utdanning. Mange førstegangshenviste pasienter som fikk henvisningen avvist re-henvises innen kort tid. 80 % av re-henviste pasienter innvilges rett til helsehjelp.

  We analyse how payment systems for general practitioners (GPs) and hospital specialists affect inequalities in healthcare treatments, referrals, and patient health. We present a model of contracting with two providers, a GP and a hospital specialist, with patients differing in severity and socioeconomic status, and the GP only receiving an informative signal on severity. We investigate four health system configurations depending on whether the GP refers and the specialist treats only high-severity patients or patients with any severity. We show that an increase in the GP fee, which induces GPs to refer only high-severity patients, increases utilitarian welfare but also increases inequities in access to specialist visits. A reduction in the DRG reimbursement to hospital specialists, which induces specialists to treat only high-severity patients, increases utilitarian welfare but also increases inequities in access to specialist visits when the GP refers only high-severity patients.

  Background: A leadership development programme (The Health Leadership School) was launched in 2018 for junior doctors and medical students in Norway. Objective: To study participants’ experiences and self-assessed learning outcomes, and if there were any differences in outcome among participants who met face-to-face versus and those who had to complete half of the programme in a virtual classroom due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Participants who completed The Health Leadership School in 2018–2020 were invited to respond to a web-based questionnaire. Results: A total of 33 (83%) out of 40 participants responded. The majority of respondents (97%) somewhat agreed or strongly agreed that they had gained knowledge and skills they did not learn in medical school. Respondents reported a high learning outcome for most competency domains, and there was no difference in outcome when comparing scores of those who met face-to-face versus and those who had to complete half of the programme in a virtual classroom. Among participants who participated in virtual classroom sessions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority agreed that the programme could be run as a combination of face-to-face and virtual sessions. Conclusion: This brief report suggests that leadership development programmes for junior doctors and medical students can be run in-part using virtual classroom sessions, but that face-to-face sessions are important to foster relational and teamwork skills.

  Fritt behandlingsvalg (FBV) ble etablert 1. november 2015. Som del av ordningen ble det mulig for private tilbydere uten kjøpsavtale med regionalt helseforetak (RHF) å utføre tjenester finansiert av det offentlige. Formålene med ordningen er å øke pasientenes valgmuligheter, utnytte ledig kapasitet ved private sykehus samt å stimulere offentlige sykehus til bedre kapasitetsutnyttelse og effektiv drift. I denne artikkelen stiller vi spørsmålet om hvilke faktorer som påvirker sannsynligheten for at en pasient som trenger somatisk pasientbehandling skal benytte en FBV-leverandør. Vi finner at kvinner, personer under 40 år, samt personer med høyere utdanning har en høyere sannsynlighet for å benytte en FBV-leverandør. I tillegg finner vi at jo bedre tilgjengelighet, målt med avstand i kilometer til nærmeste FBV-institusjon, jo større sannsynlighet for at denne er valgt. En annen viktig faktor er fastlegens henvisningspraksis. Analysene viser at somatiske pasienter som tilhører lister der en relativt stor andel av pasientene mottok behandling på private sykehus i 2017, har betydelig høyere sannsynlighet for å benytte ordningen i 2018.

  The Norwegian health care system is semi-decentralized. Primary care and long-term care (LTC) are the responsibilities of the municipalities. Specialist care is the responsibility of the central government and is organised through four Regional Health Authorities (RHA). Resource use, health outcomes and severity are the three main pillars for priority setting, regularly applied in reimbursement decisions for pharmaceuticals. The sustainability of health care is challenged in Norway. The main factors are a growing elderly population with high need of complex, coordinated services, an increasing demand for newly approved drugs and advanced technology and a potential shortage of health care personnel. We present recent trials and policy reforms in Norway aimed at improving care pathways combined with cost containment. Reforms in the pharmaceutical market, both with regard to market access and reimbursement(cost-effectiveness), and regulation of prices, have resulted in cost containment. The primary care sector awaits reform initiatives to recruit and retain physicians as general practitioners. No reform in the hospital sector has had cost containment as a main focus. The sector is characterized with low productivity growth, and expenditures that have increased more than the GDP growth. Waiting times are long, and coordination between sub-sectors of health care has been poor, although the Coordination reform of 2012 has alleviated some of the challenges related to intersectoral coordination. Still, the divided responsibility for health care between the central government and the municipalities creates tensions between national ambitions and local decisions in the financing and provision of health services.

  We investigate whether parents´ socioeconomic status affects children´s need for hospital services, and potential implications for need-based resource allocation models. Data are from somatic hospital stays by children below the age of 11 in Norway in 2011. Socioeconomic status is measured by parents’ educational level or income. We find that the educational gradient is dominating the income gradient, and the effects are strong: Hospital expenditures of a child whose mother (father) has not completed secondary education are 51 % (42%) higher than average expenditures. The effect of parents´ educational level is strongest for the youngest children and is mainly due to emergency care. Since we find a negative correlation between the educational attainment and hospital expenditures, we argue that education level of parents should be included in the need-based resource allocation model.

  Using a rich Norwegian longitudinal data set, this study explores the effects of different social capital variables on the probability of cigarette smoking. There are four social capital variables available in two waves of our data set. Our results based on probit (and OLS) analyses (with municipality fixed-effects) show that the likelihood of smoking participation is negatively and significantly associated with social capital attributes, namely, community trust (–0.017), participation in organizational activities (–0.032), and cohabitation (–0.045). Significant negative associations were also observed in panel data, pooled OLS, and random effects models for community trust (–0.024; −0.010) and cohabitation (–0.040; −0.032). Fixed-effects models also showed significant negative effects for cohabitation (–0.018). Estimates of alternative instrumental variables (IV) based on recursive bivariate probit and IV-GMM models also confirmed negative and significant effects for three of its characteristics: cohabitation (–0.030; −0.046), community trust (–0.065; −0.075), and participation in organizational activities (–0.035; −0.046). The limitations of our conclusions are discussed, and the significance of our study for the field of social capital and health is described, along with suggested avenues for future research.

  I underkant av 500 000 personer har private helseforsikringer i Norge, de fleste gjennom arbeidsgiverfinansierte kollektive ordninger. Forsikringene skal primært gi raskere tilgang til spesialisthelsetjenester. Vi bruker data fra en spørreundersøkelse supplert med registerdata fra Brønnøysundregistrene og analyserer sannsynligheten for å ha privat helseforsikring. Vi finner at sannsynligheten for private helseforsikringer øker med antall ansatte og med andel menn i bedriften, men reduseres med sykefravær på næringsnivå. Arbeidsgivers avgjørelse om å kjøpe private helseforsikringer er påvirket av ansattes preferanser og arbeidsgivers oppfatning om at private helseforsikringer kan brukes som rekrutteringsstrategi. I gjennomsnitt er bedriftene fornøyd/veldig fornøyd med det medisinske tilbudet som gis gjennom private helseforsikringer.

  We investigate whether socioeconomic status, measured by income and education, affects waiting time when controls for severity and hospital-specific conditions are included. We also examine which aspects of the hospital supply (attachment to local hospital, traveling time, or choice of hospital) matter most for unequal treatment of different socioeconomic groups. The study uses administrative data from all elective inpatient and outpatient stays in somatic hospitals in Norway. The main results are that we find very little indication of discrimination with regard to income and education when both severity and aspects of hospital supply are controlled for. This result holds for both men and women.

  We study optimal incentive contracts when commitments are limited, and agents have multiple tasks and career concerns. The agent's career concerns are determined by the outside market. We show that the principal might want to give the strongest explicit incentives to agents far from retirement to account for the fact that career concerns might induce behavior in conflict with the principal's preferences. Furthermore, we show that maximized welfare might be decreasing in the strength of career concerns, that optimal incentives can be positively correlated with various measures of uncertainty, and that career incentives have strong implications for optimal job design.

  Audit and feedback is used as a strategy to guide practices of health care professionals towards certain targets. The outcome of interest can be quality improvements, but also ensuring that health care workers adhere to relevant regulations. We conducted a nationwide field experiment in the Norwegian primary care sector to study the behavioral responses from giving general practitioners feedback (GPs) on their claiming of fees. The email-based feedback intervention targeted GPs who most frequently claimed fees for double consultations and provided them with a reminder of the formal regulations for double consultations. The intervention caused a 2-5 percentage point reduction in the use of the double-consultation fee, reducing the yearly health care spending of the Norwegian government by approximately €877 000 (or €1 270 per GP).
