Multitasking, Competition and Provider Payment Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics Karen Eggleston ()

registered author(s):
Many important dimensions of quality health care are difficult to observe, monitor, and motivate. This paper examines how competition among providers interacts with payment system incentives when the allocation of provider effort among multiple such dimensions or ‘tasks’ is noncontractible. The framework highlights that an optimal provider payment system, including optimal risk adjustment, should take account of provider multitasking.
