Reimbursement Method- Pay for Performance. Attached a brief description on the method
One of the reimbursement models aimed at improving the quality, efficiency, and overall value of healthcare is known as pay-for-performance. This payment arrangement provides financial incentives to hospitals, physicians, and other healthcare providers to carry out particular improvements and achieve optimal outcomes for patients. With a particular emphasis on quality, this model directly responds to concerns about the increasing high costs of medicine attributed to other reimbursement methods, such as FFS and capitation.
In a pay-for-performance system, physicians are given bonuses for meeting particular clinical goals, such as smoking cessation and diabetes management, and penalized for not meeting certain standards. Hospitals are similarly rewarded for how well they perform on a set of quality measures, as well as how much their performance improves relative to a baseline. The better a hospital does on its quality measures, the greater the reward it receives.
