International Workshop: Pay for Performance Can It Improve the Quality and Value of Israeli Health Care? Chairmen: Ronni Gamzu
International Workshop: Pay for Performance Can it Improve the Quality and Value of Israeli Health Care ? Chairmen: Ronni Gamzu Charles N. Kahn September 2-3, 2009 Caesarea, Israel Paying for Performance. Now. In his pioneering paper entitled "Uncertainty and the Welfare Economics of Medical Care" Nobel-prize winner Kenneth J. Arrow highlighted the significant role of 'product uncertainty' as one of the special characteristics of the medical care market. Almost 45 years later, the planned health reform in the U.S. includes the advancement of health information to increase the value for money. Paying for performance (P4P) strategies are supposed to increase the quality and value for money. Healthcare policy-makers worldwide pursue structure and process reforms to adjust the growing challenges of the health market. Yet, we all fail to assure ourselves that such innovations improve the quality of care. The state of the reimbursement system between hospitals and HMOs in the Israel healthcare system can be seen as a perfect example. Until recently, the reimbursement system paid hospitals chiefly on the basis on bed days used. The system gradually reformed to include more DRGs in an attempt to increase efficiency. Yet, clinical outcomes and performance remain absent in this equation. It is often claimed that the cost of hospital treatment has more to do with number of physicians, number of medical specialties and the procedures they prefer - than the real health improvement. Any quantity and procedure-based payments are subject to “creative” management (e.g. DRG creep) to maximize tariff revenue. Payers are used to: forgo) the quality issue due to information barriers and overall uncertainty.
