Pay-for-performance models can support medical professionalism
Put words in our mouth
An expert panel convened by ACP has released a paper on the impact of pay-for-performance programs on medical professionalism. “Pay for Performance through the Lens of Medical Professionalism,” published in the March 16 Annals of Internal Medicine, indicates how properly designed models and programs can strengthen the relationship between physicians and patients, increasing the likelihood that physicians will deliver the best possible care. The ACP-led panel of experts included professionals in clinical medicine, law, management and health policy.
