- Title
Toward evidence-based policy.
- Authors
Kiran, Tara
- Abstract
The author comments on a study by R. Lavergne and colleagues on incentive payments to primary care physicians which implied governments' failing to take an evidence-based approach to policy-making. She poses questions about the study including whether the fee code changed physicians' approach to management of complex chronic disease, how physicians who billed the fee code implemented the recommendations on care plans, and whether ideal implementation of care plans would reduce hospital visits.
