So pay for\u00a0performance doesn’t work. This is hardly surprising when you see the compromise and mediocrity forced upon policy makers to get ideas through. There have been instances of success in health care. Indeed, one could argue that the exemplary success of big pharma in changing physician behaviour has provided a rod for its own back. Why not harness this expertise in getting under the skin of doctors, and pay big pharma sales outfits to guide physician practice in\u00a0constructive directions, rather\u00a0than being distracted by flogging pills that don’t really work that well anyway, and potentially harm? Might have a chat with Christian.<\/p>\n
