How are health systems, clinics, and clinicians compensated for their services that they deliver to patients, and what incentives are created by the various payment methods? This issue of provider payment—whether through bundled payments, value-based care, fee-for-service, or other models—is an area that CHIBE faculty have conducted extensive research in.
Provider payment models can have an impact on the cost, quality, and accessibility of health care services. Our faculty help determine what the impact of the models are, evaluate interventions that could improve care, and use incentive design to motivate practice change when needed.
