Abstract

It is hard to dispute the rationale behind realigning payment incentives in health care to encourage higher quality and more efficient care. Indeed, across the country and beyond, the number of “pay for performance” programs, as such realignment is called, has reached a tipping point. In the United States, more than half the health maintenance organizations (HMOs) in the private sector have now initiated such programs, covering more than 80% of the country's HMO enrollees.1 Congress has mandated that the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) develop plans to introduce a pay-for-performance program into Medicare.2 The British have gone . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
