Summary:

Policy makers and service managers have, over the past decade, designed and implemented a broad range of implicit and explicit incentive schemes- tied to routinised measurement - as a means of driving performance and quality improvement in provider organisations. The papers in this e-book draw on a wide range of UK and international experience with an aim to look at the core concerns by asking; what are the design principles of such schemes? How are they implemented? And what are their effects?
