Pros and Cons for Pay-for-performance
improve quality of health care and/or contain costs. What are the pros and cons
of this approach?
Would like assistance on a couple of pages which address the
following:
Describe the objectives of pay-for-performance policies.
Are some or all pay-for-performance programs meeting their
goals? If so, explain why you think they are effective. If not, identify the
main obstacles and what could be done to improve their effectiveness. Be sure
to provide specific examples of pay-for-performance programs to support your
response, and discuss outcomes in terms of:
– Impact on quality improvement
– Unintended and/or negative consequences
– Implications for cost containment
