Good news, now will someone share this with Medicare and the insurers...BD
The American College of Physicians (ACP) says that pay-for-performance programs that provide incentives for good performance on a few specific elements of a single disease or condition may lead to better health care for some patients but can also have unintended consequences. Such plans may also neglect the complexity of patient care, especially for elderly patients and those with many chronic conditions. ACP published a new position paper, "Pay-for-Performance Principles That Promote Patient-Centered Care: An Ethics Manifesto," in the Dec. 4, 2007, edition of its journal, Annals of Internal Medicine.
