As concerns regarding medical errors and patient safety continue to escalate, policy makers and purchasers of care are developing novel methods to improve health care quality. One strategy for encouraging quality improvement uses financial incentives to reward physicians and hospitals for meeting or exceeding benchmarks of quality. This model, known as "paying for performance," is currently being implemented in a number of health care markets. Although most of these programs focus on primary care physicians and hospital care, it is only a matter of time until pay-for-performance incentives will be designed for diagnostic imaging groups. This article describes the pay-for-performance model and discusses its implications for the field of radiology.
随着对医疗差错和患者安全的关注持续升级，政策制定者和医疗服务购买者正在开发新方法以提高医疗质量。鼓励质量改进的一种策略是利用经济激励措施，对达到或超过质量基准的医生和医院给予奖励。这种被称为“按绩效付费”的模式目前正在多个医疗市场实施。尽管这些项目大多聚焦于初级保健医生和医院医疗服务，但为诊断成像团队设计按绩效付费激励措施只是时间问题。本文介绍了按绩效付费模式，并讨论了其对放射学领域的影响。
