On Wednesday 29th April, Dr Irene Papanicolas and Dr Alistair McGuire will lead an OHE Lunchtime Seminar on the impact of different payment policies on activity for Hip Replacement.
Dr Papanicolas and Dr McGuire will compare the case based payment mechanism in England, to an alterative payment system in Scotland, where this financial incentive does not exist.
A difference-in-difference estimator is used to test whether the differences in reimbursement between the two countries has had an influence on treatment.
