Some incentives in BC have not shown promising results. Can you explain?

  • The evidence from BC suggests that the Complex Care Initiative (CCI) has yet to show positive results. An evaluation by Hollander (2010) has shown that costs of care were inversely related to attachment to practice for those who received CCI incentive based care and those who did not. Costs increased on a consistent basis, with the number of registries a patient was on. [1]
  • BC is working on a redesign of its Complex Care Initiative.
