Healthcare :proposing financial incentives
Paper details You have been tasked with proposing financial incentives to improve the quality of care and, ultimately, patient outcomes in an island nation where there is a single health care provider and a single payer for health care that covers all patients. You are permitted to introduce pay for performance for providers only, patients only or both. Do you pay both providers and patients and why?
How should we think about aligning provider and patient incentives?
Explain how you would select measures on which to pay providers and/or patients.
What problem(s) does my single payer, single provider context solve and what might we worry about if there were multiple payers and providers on the island?
