Incentives and performance in the health care system

改变对保健提供者的财政激励措施将直接影响他们的行为，这反过来又影响病人的健康结果、保健质量和人口获得保健的机会。 这项研究将提供一个更丰富的理解的激励措施的效果，并将影响政策的设计，在澳大利亚的医疗保健提供者的激励措施。 激励措施的变化将确保患者在最合适的环境中获得更合适、更高质量和更便宜的医疗保健，并由最合适的医疗保健提供者提供。 这将直接影响到人口的健康和福祉以及个人过上健康和富有成效生活的能力。

Changes in financial incentives for health care providers will have direct effects on their behaviour, which in turn influences patients' health outcomes, quality of care, and access to health care for the population. The research will provide a richer understanding of the effects of incentives, and will influence policy on the design of incentives for health care providers in Australia. Changes in incentives will ensure patients receive more appropriate, higher quality, and less costly health care, in the most appropriate settings, and delivered by the most appropriate health care providers. This will have direct effects on population health and well-being and the capacity of individuals to lead healthy and productive lives.
