Learning from Peers: The Effects of Quality Clusters on Opioid Prescribing in General Practice
Research Seminar with Dr. Benjamin Chibuye (University of Southern Denmark)
In 2018, Quality Clusters were implemented in Denmark to improve the quality of medical care in primary care practices by leveraging peer effects among general practitioners. Dr. Benjamin Chibuye of the University of Southern Denmark investigated whether Quality Clusters have an impact on addictive medications, specifically whether filled opioid prescriptions from patients admitted to practices in such clusters better meet the standards of high-quality opioid prescribing.
