RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Getting Doctors to Do Their Best JF Journal of Human Resources JO J Hum Resour FD University of Wisconsin Press SP 682 OP 700 DO 10.3368/jhr.XLII.3.682 VO XLII IS 3 A1 Kenneth L. Leonard A1 Melkiory C. Masatu A1 Alexandre Vialou YR 2007 UL http://jhr.uwpress.org/content/XLII/3/682.abstract AB Adherence to medical protocol (quality) is low in most developing countries. We show that, although the differences in knowledge of protocol among doctors in Arusha region of Tanzania are explained by years of training, the differences in actual adherence to protocol and the gap between knowledge and actual adherence are best understood by examining the types of organizations in which these doctors work. These results suggest that some organizations are better at getting doctors to perform at capacity and that understanding the link between organizational structure and protocol adherence is important in any attempt to increase the quality of care.
