Regulation and trust in action: The subtle balance between doctors and management in two Belgian hospitals

Article Abstract:

The question of the formal and informal control of problem doctors in two Belgian/Flemish hospitals is answered. The new reform proposals for Belgium hospitals have a tendency to give more power to management in order to control medicine practice and to reduce variations in standards of clinical care by identifying clinicians who are performing poorly and encouraging those who are mediocre to aspire to better practice.
