Text Extraction

During the last decade the pay-for-performance paradigm has increasingly attracted the interest of all parts involved in health care systems. There is no clear information about how will this affect in the short-term the quality of those systems. Despite improvement in quality indicators at patient-level from quasi experimental studies, it is difficult to demonstrate if this paradigm would deeply improve medical and non-medical processes in real life sceneries.
