This volume demonstrates how incentives can improve the delivery
and use of health services in low- and middle-income countries. The
authors describe the rationale for introducing incentives tied to
achievement of specific health-related targets, and they provide
clear guidance about designing, implementing, and evaluating
programs that provide incentives to health care providers and
patients. A set of case studies focuses on recent uses of
incentives addressing a range of health conditions in diverse
countries. In particular, these studies emphasize how explicit
incentives can be used to strengthen weak health systems.
The book will be of use to policymakers and program managers in
both developing countries and the donor community interested in
improving health outcomes through the strategic use of
performance-based incentives.
