title: [Geographic variations: focal point for the re-evaluation of health services. Strategies of action].
abstract: This second article, in a series of two, proposes a number of strategies to deal with geographic variations in health care services and its main cause, professional uncertainty. These strategies, which call for a reassessment of health services, should be implemented in a non-punitive but educative context, where feedback should be constructive and where physicians should participate at every step. In order to be more effective, this process of health care reassessment should use international collaboration as much as possible.
