Pay-for-performance in resource-constrained settings: Lessons learned from Thailand’s Quality and Outcomes Framework

In 2010, Thailand introduced the first pay-for-performance (P4P) programme, called on-top payment, in order to reduce variations in quality and accessibility of care provision by encouraging CUPs to improve infrastructure and staffing. Since this programme was criticized for not clearly contributing to the quality of services and health outcomes, it was replaced by the Quality […]

Can We Expect Results-Based Financing to Improve Quality of Care?

Results-Based Financing (RBF) schemes in healthcare are premised on the notion that “paying for results” rather than for inputs is more likely to improve performance.

This […]

Interesting features of this program include use of monthly quantity-related incentive payments (based on service utilization) and quarterly quality-related payments […]

Improving Health Worker Performance: The Patient-Perspective from a PBF Program in Rwanda

Over recent decades, paying healthcare providers against agreed performance targets has gained momentum in high income countries and more recently in low and middle income countries (LMIC). Poor performance in health systems is a worldwide concern and greater investment in the health sector do not necessarily translate to better health outcomes (World Health Organization, 2000). […]
