Incentives for Better Performance in Health Care
Journal Title: Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal - Year 2011, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
Incentives for better performance in health care have several modes and methods. Tey are designed to motivate and encourage people to perform well and improve their outcomes. Tey 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, benefciaries are compared with one another based on a set of performance indicators and those that achieve a high level of performance are rewarded fnancially. Tis system is meant to recognise and primarily to reward high performers. Its goal is to encourage benefciaries to strive for better performance. Tis 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.
