The effect of per-item fees on the behaviour of general practitioners
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted on the effect of per-item fees on the the services of general practitioners (GPs). UK's National Health Services already approved the use of financial incentives for GPs. Results showed that per-item fees modification had a minor effect on the supply of treatments. However, target payments were found to have a significant effect. Further studies were recommended regarding the effectivity of per-item fees.

Article Abstract:
