On Thursday, September 21, 2006, the Institute of Medicine released a report entitled "Rewarding Provider Performance: Aligning Incentives in Medicine." The report, the third in a series on improving the quality of health care, explores the pay-for-performance concept and its usefulness in the Medicare system.

In this audio interview, Rachel Gotbaum discusses the approach and the report with two members of the IOM committee — Elliott Fisher, professor of medicine at Dartmouth Medical School, and Karen Davis, president of the Commonwealth Fund.
