incentives Factors Associated With Meaningful Use Incentives in Children's Hospitals By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2015-05-11T00:05:25-07:00 Meaningful use (MU) incentive payments have been developed to encourage adoption and use of electronic health records (EHRs). Several studies have revealed children’s hospitals have unique barriers to the use of EHRs but were relatively early adopters of information technology.Although a minority of children’s hospitals have succeeded with MU incentives, freestanding children’s hospitals are significantly more likely to succeed. Improvement of EHRs for pediatric use should focus on information exchange, quality reporting, and MU relevance to pediatrics. (Read the full article) Full Article

incentives Patient and primary care physician characteristics associated with billing incentives for chronic diseases in British Columbia: a retrospective cohort study By www.cmajopen.ca Published On :: 2020-05-05T05:00:14-07:00 Background: Incentive payments for chronic diseases in British Columbia were intended to support primary care physicians in providing more comprehensive care, but research shows that not all physicians bill incentives and not all eligible patients have them billed on their behalf. We investigated patient and physician characteristics associated with billing incentives for chronic diseases in BC. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis using linked administrative health data to examine community-based primary care physicians and patients with eligible chronic conditions in BC during 2010–2013. Descriptive analyses of patients and physicians compared 3 groups: no incentives in any of the 4 years, incentives in all 4 years, and incentives in any of the study years. We used hierarchical logistic regression models to identify the patient- and physician-level characteristics associated with billing incentives. Results: Of 428 770 eligible patients, 142 475 (33.2%) had an incentive billed on their behalf in all 4 years, and 152 686 (35.6%) never did. Of 3936 physicians, 2625 (66.7%) billed at least 1 incentive in each of the 4 years, and 740 (18.8%) billed no incentives during the study period. The strongest predictors of having an incentive billed were the number of physician contacts a patient had (odds ratio [OR] for > 48 contacts 134.77, 95% confidence interval [CI] 112.27–161.78) and whether a physician had a large number of patients in his or her practice for whom incentives were billed (OR 42.38 [95% CI 34.55–52.00] for quartile 4 v. quartile 1). Interpretation: The findings suggest that primary care physicians bill incentives for patients based on whom they see most often rather than using a population health management approach to their practice.

incentives Incentives for Change: Addressing the Challenges in Antibacterial Drug Development By webfeeds.brookings.edu Published On :: Wed, 27 Feb 2013 09:00:00 -0500 Event Information February 27, 20139:00 AM - 4:00 PM ESTFalk AuditoriumBrookings Institution1775 Massachusetts Avenue NWWashington, DC 20036 As part of an ongoing cooperative agreement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Engelberg Center for Health Care Reform at Brookings has formed the Brookings Council on Antibacterial Drug Development (BCADD) to identify steps to address the major technical, regulatory, and financial barriers impeding antibacterial drug development. At the first meeting of the BCADD, stakeholders emphasized the importance of concentrating on discrete policy and program areas to revitalize the antibacterial drug development enterprise. BCADD convened a diverse group of stakeholders, including FDA officials, industry and biotech representatives, payers, providers, clinicians, and academic researchers Wednesday, February 27, 2013, to discuss two of the economic challenges facing antibacterial drug development: Better understanding the potential role of incentives in drug discovery and development; and Identifying potential reimbursement models that can support both stewardship and expanded investment for antibacterial drug products. Antibacterial development has moved slower than other therapeutic areas in part due to the challenges of achieving a return on investment under the current reimbursement system. New models are needed to incentivize research and development of antibacterial products and to separate reimbursement from unit sales in order to help preserve the effectiveness of existing and new antibacterial drugs. The workshop’s objectives are to support the development of pragmatic proposals for the larger stakeholder community to consider.

The current retirement income deficit—the gap between what Americans will need in retirement and what they will actually have—is well over $6 trillion. This gap will be insurmountable without a significant change to current tax policy to help incentivize more Americans to save for their own retirement.On September 9, the Retirement Security Project at Brookings hosted a briefing in collaboration with the Senate Special Committee on Aging to examine new ways to help Americans save for retirement without increasing government spending. A panel of experts on tax, retirement and budget policy explored ideas to modify the tax incentives for retirement savings. After the panel, participants took audience questions.
