Paying Physicians for High-Quality Care
Abstract
Payment incentives as a part of physicians' compensation are commonplace but have been aimed predominantly at restricting expensive services. A novel concept is the payment of physicians for providing high-quality care, on the basis of explicit measures of quality. Such a system has recently been adopted in the United Kingdom. The authors believe that the idea is worth pursuing, but they point out important impediments and challenges to its successful implementation.

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.
