  • Title: Gainsharing: past, present, and future.
    Author: Patel AD.
    Journal: Healthc Financ Manage; 2006 Sep; 60(9):124-8, 130. PubMed ID: 16977995.
    Abstract:
    Gainsharing gives hospitals and physicians an opportunity to align their economic interests, and gives hospitals a means to improve operational efficiencies and quality of patient care by promoting the development of best practices. The OIG's 2005 advisory opinions on hospital-physician gainsharing suggest that such arrangements are again open for hospitals to consider. Gainsharing arrangements likely to meet with the OIG's approval are those limited arrangements that are tied to specific, identifiable, and verifiable actions and cost savings.
