Introduction: With an upward trend in adoption by industrialized nations, pay-for-performance (P4P) mechanisms are increasingly recognized for fostering quality improvement in healthcare. P4P programs conventionally reward providers with supplemental payments upon achieving predefined performance targets. This study aims to utilize decision modelling to determine the cost-effectiveness and maximum incentive levels of P4P programs.
Methods: A decision model, grounded in previously published models exploring the cost-effectiveness of implementation programs, was developed. The model evaluates the cost-effectiveness of P4P programs for an exogenous reward size under varied reward mechanisms and also in scenarios with and without a budget or time constraint.
Results: In instances where P4P programs do not substitute other healthcare programs, their incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) is deterministically set and ranges from treatment ICER to infinity, irrespective of the reward mechanism. With a budget or time constraint in play, the P4P program is incentivized up to the point where its population cost or ICER aligns with that of the program being replaced.
Conclusion: The proposed decision model effectively calculates the cost-effectiveness and budget impact of P4P programs, accommodating various reward mechanisms and scenarios, both with and without budget or time constraints.

Engaging and motivating busy trainees to work on reducing the climate impact of their clinical practice is challenging. To our knowledge, there are no published studies of graduate medical education (GME)-wide, institutional efforts to engage residents in implementing climate sustainability improvement projects. We piloted a novel, institution-wide, pay-for-performance (P4P) sustainability quality improvement (SusQI) program in 2023-2024 that enabled residents from all GME programs to implement SusQI projects with practice-changing improvement goals for a financial incentive.

Value-based payment is among payment models rewarding health care providers for achieving pre-defined targets of quality or efficiency measures of care. This paper aims to identify the evidence of the effectiveness of value-based payment schemes implemented in hospital settings. A systematic review of databases for studies published from 2000 to 2022 that evaluated VBP programs was conducted.
