Pay-for-Performance in Nursing Homes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Information on the impact of pay-for-performance programs is lacking in the nursing home setting.

The programs were mostly short-lived, varied considerably in the choice of performance measures and pay incentives, and evaluations of the impact were rare.
