Abstract: A nationwide pay-for-performance (P4P) scheme was introduced in the Netherlands between 2018 and 2023 to incentivize appropriate prescribing in general practice. Appropriate prescribing was operationalised as adherence to prescription formularies and measured based on electronic health records (EHR) data. We evaluated this P4P scheme from a learning health systems perspective.
