Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Are incentive payments related to expected health gain in the pay for performance scheme for UK primary care : cross-sectional analysis?
Answer: In this subgroup of indicators the financial incentives were not aligned to maximise health gain. This disconnection between incentive and expected health gain risks supporting clinical activities that are only marginally effective, at the expense of more effective activities receiving lower incentives. When designing pay for performance programmes decisions about the size of the financial incentive attached to an indicator should be informed by information on the health gain to be expected from that indicator.
Output (English): no
