Abstract: Pay incentives for clinician performance can improve cancer care in tertiary cancer centers across India. Pay-for-performance programs have been embraced as a means to improve the quality of health care [1]. Management of cancer care has improved over the past decade with advent of technology and reverse brain drain from the west to the east and has impacted in improving patient health and reducing health care costs. One new health care model is pay-for-performance (P4P), which provides financial incentives to clinicians for achieving better health outcomes. In the traditional “fee for service†model, doctors are paid a set amount regardless of patient outcomes.
