Structuring Compensation for Quality in the New Health Care ParadigmCompensation for health care providers is changing.

With the industry putting greater emphasis on, and attaching payment to, quality, outcomes, efficiency, and patient satisfaction, it is essential for practitioners to understand not only the rationale and principles behind the change, but also how both practitioners and valuation experts are navigating this systematic change in how health care providers are being paid.Arthur F. deVaux, Hall Render Killian Heath & Lyman PLLC, Troy; Mary Heymans, Integrated Healthcare Strategies, Minneapolis, MN
