NEWS BRIEF
Memo to Washington health policy experts: doctors are people, too!
Healthcare researchers have recently discovered what Adam Smith knew in 1776: Patient outcomes are better when
doctors are paid for how well they perform specific medical procedures. This traditional arrangement is better for
patients than when everyone gets paid a set amount.
So-called pay for performance shifts the focus from just getting the job done to doing a job well. (Of course, when I was
in the government, public employees used to tell me, A job done is a job well done. No wonder Washington is such a
mess.)
A new program conducted at University of California, San Francisco and The New York City Department of Health,
awarded physicians extra pay when they were successful in providing care that reduced the long-term risk of heart
attack and stroke.1 This included incentives for handling more difficult cases complicated by diabetes, coronary artery
disease, intractable hypertension, or other difficult-to-treat patients.
Physicians who worked under pay for performance had results that were two to eight times better than physicians in
the standard flat fee arrangement.
Obamacare mandates that everyone have healthcare insurance and that insurance plans include preventative services.
Old-fashioned major medical plans that cover only hospitalization (but still protect people from being bankrupted) are
strongly discouraged. In fact, these catastrophic coverage plans end up costing more than full-service plans under the
new schemes.
The concept of preventing diseases in humans is wonderful. But it is a long-term goal. To achieve it health policy experts
need to realize that those providing care will do a better job when they are given incentives for successjust like
everything else when it comes to people.
You cant mandate disease prevention without treating each patient, each physician, and each case individually and
providing incentives for itnot just having the government order it up the way it tries to force people to comply with
their other political and power-grabbing agendas. Citations available online at www.DrMicozzi.com
