title: If We Pay for Value, Will We Get It?
abstract: Quality measurement and performance-based payment systems are intended to promote high-value health care. Medicare is beginning to shift from process to population-based outcome measures, but the service (rather than the outcome) remains the focus under fee-for-service payment. An emerging challenge: how to mesh the differing perspectives of payers, providers, and consumers on what constitutes value in health care.
