Table 3.

Consequences which are generated by the proposed alternative payment model.

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)
