Table 3.
Payment Model | Desirable Consequences | Undesirable Consequences |
---|---|---|
Person-centred bundled payment | A holistic approach Integration of care More flexibility on how to spend the budget Responsibility of the primary care cooperative and therefore coordination of care Reduction of risk selection |
Lowering the threshold to include someone in the person-centred bundled payment Reduction of freedom of choice of the patients because certain physicians are contracted, and others are not Reduction of costs by avoiding necessary care |
One-sided shared savings | A holistic approach Multidisciplinary collaboration due to mutual responsibility The right care for the right patient at the right place Cost-conscious behaviour Double declaration is unattractive Mitigated risks for the primary care cooperative |
Feeling less responsible because the savings partly depend on providers that are not part of the person-centred bundled payment, which makes the coordination difficult Reduction of costs by avoiding necessary care |
Pay-for-performance | High quality of care | Focus on the measured quality indicators (gaming) |
