Bronchiectasis treatment is challenging, and many recent randomized controlled trials have failed to prove any clinical improvement. The most reasonable explanation for that problem is the high heterogeneity of patients' groups. For that reason, there is an urgent need to find new biomarkers to better stratify patients. The present chapter addresses the future directions in biomarkers, omics technologies, endotypes, and new treatments toward a personalized medicine in the field of bronchiectasis.

Division of Health Care Delivery Research, Mayo Clinic Robert D. and Patricia E. Kern Center for the Science of Health Care Delivery, Jacksonville, Florida.
Goal: While studies have examined quality and health outcomes related to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS's) Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (HVBP) Program, a significant gap exists in the literature regarding the relationship between pay-for-performance initiatives and hospital financial performance in the program's Efficiency and Cost Reduction domain. This study examined the association between hospitals' cost inefficiency and participation in the HVBP Program by estimating the probability and magnitude of improvement or achievement in the program's Efficiency and Cost Reduction domain.
Methods: The 2014-2019 Efficiency and Cost Reduction domain data were obtained from CMS and merged with the American Hospital Association's Annual Survey Database.
