Abstract
The increasing cost of health services and the limited financial resources available force countries to find approaches to reduce cost and to improve the quality of health services. Variations in physicians practice patterns have important implications for quality and cost. Because of their central role in health care, the hospital administrators should establish some control systems that can modify the current application models of physicians. Therefore, many countries are trying to control overutilization through different strategies. Common areas of overutilization include hospitalization, hospital inpatient days, emergency center visits, diagnostic laboratory and radiology tests, and prescription drugs.
