National Commission on Physician Payment Reform: Six Principles That Should Guide Any System of Physician Payment Reform
Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 03/06/2013 - 15:14
- Payment reform should result in a decreased rate of growth in total per capita expenditures and improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of health care delivery systems.
- Payment reform should encourage the routine delivery of evidence-based care and discourage inappropriate care or care that adds minimal value.
- Payment reform should encourage caring for and managing those with complex medical problems, multiple social support needs, and those who are traditionally medically disadvantaged.
- Recalibrating physician reimbursement should be done by considering total medical expenses not just as a zero-sum game of physician-related expenses.
- Payment reform should be transparent to patients and the public. Interested patients should have access to easily understood summary-level information about how physicians are paid.
- Payment reform should reward patient-centered comprehensive care that includes management of transitions between sites of care and among providers of care.
