Abstract

The reimbursement based on activity in French public hospitals introduced the controls by results in French Public Hospitals. Although, internal communications about Hospitals financial results increases. We explore mode of communications ( formal and informal) and develop the hypothesis that the mode of communication has an impact on financial pressure. Qualitative data from 31 interviews with physicians and subsequent questionnaire evidence from 578 physicians in 14 French hospitals suggest that the internal financial pressure has various facets. We further find that in function of the form of the control, the financial pressure more or less perceived. our analysis adds to understand how, the kind of feedback and the design of control system information can create pressure feeling.
