Researchers investigate if new payment system actually improves patient care
NCT ID NCT02743507
Summary
This study looks at whether a new payment system called 'bundled payments' improves the quality of care while reducing costs. Researchers are analyzing Medicare data from 440 healthcare providers treating conditions like joint replacements, pneumonia, and COPD. The goal is to see if this payment approach leads to fewer hospital readmissions, lower emergency room visits, and better patient outcomes.
