Payment Preferences Survey - Call for participation
1/12/2011 11:58:00 AM
The world in which a physician practices medicine is changing rapidly. Increasing accountability, decreasing autonomy, a changing work-life balance, a depletion of the medical workforce, and many other challenges impact upon your daily work. One – often related – change involves the payment mechanisms of healthcare provision.
Next to Salary, Fee For Service, Prospective Payment and Capitation, new forms are introduced such as Pay for Performance, Shared Savings, etc. In the end how care providers are paid, and will be paid in the future, depends on the negotiation and preferences of multiple stakeholders (physicians, policy makers, etc.). At present we scarcely know which are those preferences, how stakeholders value various payment system effects, which tradeoffs they make and how these choices differ between stakeholder groups.
Three European Universities – the Catholic University Leuven, Ghent University and the University of Antwerp – are currently organizing a survey study across Europe, Canada, the US and Australia to shed light on these issues. Physicians, policy makers, and other stakeholders are invited to express their preferences for payment systems and payment effects.
The European Society of Anaesthesiology lends its support to this study and encourages all of its members to participate. It will take about half an hour of your time to fill out the survey. In exchange you will receive a detailed study report explaining the study findings, with comparisons across health systems and across stakeholder groups.
You can access the survey online through:
