Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Analyzes the promise and risks of instituting a pay-for-performance program within Medicare to encourage a more effective health care system. The overall quality of health care delivered to Americans is worse than it should be. While many quality improvement efforts have been undertaken, their success has been limited by current payment systems. The existing systems do not reflect the relative value of health care services in important aspects of quality, such as clinical quality, patient-centeredness, and efficiency. Appendixes, References.
