Kristian Gjessing's medical dissertation investigates the impact of medical and non-medical factors on the quality and costs in primary care. The study explores how physicians and patients' decisions can be influenced by sociocultural environment, fear of making mistakes, economic factors, and communication quality. It also looks into the effects of socioeconomic background, perceived morbidity, and patient's desire to consult a doctor or use medications. The research is based on data from two primary healthcare centers in Norway and the ABIS study. The findings suggest that primary care physicians' referral diagnosis distribution may be affected by their continuity and length of employment. Additionally, influenza-like illness in children carries substantial costs and parents' perceptions of morbidity and socioeconomic factors seem to influence antibiotic demand in children.

Health at a Glance compares key indicators for population health and health system performance across OECD members, candidate and partner countries. It highlights how countries differ in terms of the health status and health-seeking behaviour of their citizens; access to and quality of health care; and the resources available for health. Analysis is based on the latest comparable data across 80 indicators, with data coming from official national statistics, unless otherwise stated.Alongside indicator-by-indicator analysis, an overview chapter summarises the comparative performance of countries and major trends, including how much health spending is associated with staffing, access, quality and health outcomes. This edition also includes a special focus on patient-reported outcomes and experiences, with a thematic chapter on measuring what matters for people-centred health systems.
