Abstract
The Serbian Government plans to reform
its provider payment system for health care by setting
incentives for providers to improve the quality and
efficiency of care. Funds for health care are currently
allocated on the basis of the number of staff and beds at
health facilities. This encourages health care providers to
use more staff and beds to define their budgets but does not
reward improvements in productivity, quality of care or
health outcomes.
