Improving our health system - Deeble Institute

Two new issue briefs from Krister Partel at the Deeble Institute for Health Policy Research (at the Australian Healthcare and Hospital Association) ask what are the best ways to improve our health system.

Can weimprove the health system with performance reporting? The answer seems to be yes if health system targets and performance monitoring are properly developed and implemented.

Can we improve the health system with pay-for-performance?  The author questions the value of these programs as there is little convincing evidence for their efficacy.
