Healthcare Incentives

Healthcare incentives are strategies designed to encourage behaviors that improve patient outcomes and reduce costs. For example, doctors or hospitals may receive bonuses for delivering quality care or successfully managing chronic conditions, rather than just doing more procedures. These incentives aim to align providers’ interests with patient well-being and cost efficiency, promoting better health outcomes through rewards for effective, value-based care. They help shift focus from volume of services to quality, safety, and efficiency, ultimately encouraging healthcare providers to deliver care that is both effective and sustainable.
