Pay For Performance and Beyond

In this lecture, I will talk about my work on incentive contracts, especially incentives related to moral hazard. I will provide a narrative of my intellectual journey from models narrowly focused on pay for performance to models that see the scope of the incentive problem in much broader terms featuring multitasking employees and rms making extensive use of non nancial instruments in designing...

Pay for performance.

Pay-for-Performance Initiatives

BACKGROUND: Improving the quality of care provided to beneficiaries while reining in costs, is a key goal for Medicare programs. The emerging payfor-performance (P4P) movement is a reimbursement strategy that provides incentives to improve the overall quality care provided to patients, which can lead to improved clinical outcomes and reduced health care utilization and costs. OBJECTIVE: To revi...

Design and Implementation of Pay for Performance

Design and Implementation of Pay for Performance A large, mature and robust economic literature on pay for performance now exists, which provides a useful framework for thinking about pay for performance systems. I use the lessons of the literature to discuss how to design and implement pay for performance in practice. JEL Classification: M52, J33, M12, L81

Hospital Size, Uncertainty, and Pay-for-Performance

We construct statistical models to assess whether hospital size will impact the ability to identify "true" hospital ranks in pay-for-performance (P4P) programs. We use Bayesian hierarchical models to estimate the uncertainty associated with the ranking of hospitals by their raw composite score values for three medical conditions: acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart failure (HF), and commun...
