We have perverse incentives that increase utilization and health care costs. Consider this:
“Millions of patients each year leave the hospital only to return within weeks or months for lack of proper follow-up care.”
“In fact, because insurers typically pay hospitals to treat patients – not to keep them away by keeping them healthy – hospitals can actually lose money by providing better care. Empty beds mean lost revenue.”
The question is how to align incentives to encourage prevention, efficiency and quality care.
