Physician Payment Reform and Outcome-Based Performance

First few Article Sentences

“Our nation cannot control runaway medical spending without fundamentally changing how physicians are paid.” This is the backbone of a report published by the National Commission on Physician Payment Reform in March. The 14-member commission was comprised of physicians from a variety of specialties, as well as others who are experts in health care policy, delivery, and payment. Based on six underlying principles of payment reform, and offering 12 general recommendations for gradual change, the Commission’s final analysis was predicated upon a single, over-arching tenant: Current health care spending in America is unsustainable.
