BLOG: The RAND Health Experiment Reassessed In The New Wonk Review

October 18th, 2007
by Chris Fleming

Hosting the latest Health Wonk Review, Jason Shafrin at the Healthcare Economist highlights two posts as the week’s best. On A Healthy Blog, John McDonough reviews an article suggesting that the RAND health experiment — the “gold standard” for health economics — could be wrong. And on Wachter’s World, Bob Wachter discusses pay-for-performance, observing that 79 percent of physicians believe that P4P is just a scheme to save money by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
