Abstract

The participation of physicians in health care management has followed different paths in developed and developing countries. However, we can say that in most of the countries the physicians have had cyclical patterns of participation and withdrawal from health care management. It is readily apparent that these patterns are different in each country. We propose to take into account three different levels of analysis in which different factors interact to define the country specific pattern of physician involvement in health care management, as well as to assess the international convergence and divergence paths on physician participation. We present here a conceptual framework that could facilitate the analysis of this theme under a comparative perspective. We start by discussing a conceptual framework of the determinants of physician participation in health care management. Then, we assess the current trends and perspectives in both developed and Latin American countries of physician participation in health care management.
