协助医疗(coordinated care).VS. GP(初级医疗服务PCP)

协作医疗(coordinated care)和GP这对矛盾:在FFS存在的前提下,GP不愿意协助医疗(因为1要分GP的钱,2降低GP的自主权),病人不愿转诊或多点诊疗(因为1多花 钱看医生,2多交通成本和时间、精力)。所以瑞士一个discrete choice experiment(测量人的偏好的工具)发现,要多给GP40%的费用他们才愿意协作,而病人也要降低premiums才愿意接受协作诊疗。这事不仅 在US是个问题,在国内的两个政策"加强基层医疗和社区卫生"与"加强转诊体系建立"看起来也用得上。
As long as fee-for-service payment systems remain an option, general practitioners will be reluctant to embrace coordinated care because it would give them less autonomy in how they practice. A study in Switzerland indicates that general practitioners will require a pay increase of up to 40 percent before they are willing to accept coordinated care, and a similar study found that Swiss consumers wanted a substantial reduction in premiums to accept it.
