Incentives for better performance in health care

الملخص EN

Incentives for better performance in health care have several modes and methods.

They are designed to motivate and encourage people to perform well and improve their outcomes.

They may include monetary or non-monetary incentives and may be applied to consumers, individual providers or institutions.

One such model is the Pay-for-Performance system.

In this system, beneficiaries are compared with one another based on a set of performance indicators and those that achieve a high level of performance are rewarded financially.

This system is meant to recognize and primarily to reward high performers.

Its goal is to encourage beneficiaries to strive for better performance.

This system has been applied in several countries and for several recipients and settings.

Early indications show that this system has had mixed effects on performance.
