题目: Does Gender Matter for Quality of Healthcare: A Standardized Patient Audit Study

报告摘要:

Growing evidence suggests that female physicians tend to deliver higher quality health services than their male counterparts do. This study revisits the issue of gender disparities in health-care quality in a typical primary care setting via a well-designed randomized study. Using objective measures of clinical practice and outcomes, we also control for a rich set of provider characteristics, disease cases, time and clinic facility fixed effects. We find little differences by physician gender in the quality of health care. However, results show salient differences in quality of health care by patient gender, which is driven by a physician-patient gender match. Relative to female patients treated by female physicians, male patients treated by female physicians are prescribed more invasive or unnecessary tests during the visits but fewer unnecessary drugs afterwards. Compared to female physicians treating female patients, the rates of correct diagnosis and correct drug prescription are respectively 23.0% and 19.4% higher for female physicians treating male patients. Our evidence suggests more patient-centered communication between female physicians and male patients in comparison to other doctor-patient gender matches.
