Impact du volume d’activité sur les résultats de soins à l’hôpital en France

Impact of Hospital Volume on Outcomes of Care in France
Zeynep Or and Thomas Renaud
p. 187-219

Abstracts

This study contributes to the literature on the link between hospital volume and outcomes of care by exploiting for the first time the French hospital data at a national level. The analysis tests the existence and the strength of the correlation for eight conditions in order to answer the following question: are the results of care systematically better in hospitals when the activity devoted to this care is higher? The results suggest that activity volumes may be a good measure of regulating quality in certain domains, but there would be little additional benefit to centralize hospital activity beyond a certain point.
