First, physicians' reimbursement needs to be aligned with outcomes (and thus the transition from fee-for-service to fee-for-value that is underway).
We used a classical method for measuring vNM utility functions (the "fractile" procedure) that iteratively aligns gamble outcomes with previously determined points on the utility axis [ 24, 25].
How do I align an outcome with a rubric in a course?
High-resolution regional climate simulations were used to suggest increased future fire risk across northern and eastern Australia [27], which aligns with outcomes from our models with biomass constrained, though our projections suggest more of a long-term decrease in fire in our unconstrained models.
In order to ensure that the College's training program fulfils its social obligation in producing such specialists, training has to be aligned with this outcome; this can only be adequately achieved through the use of a competency-based program.
We support ongoing work aimed at reconsideration of these core sets, with groups aligned with the Core Outcome Measures for Effectiveness Trials (COMET) initiative, but emphasise the importance of evaluating the design and clinimetric performance before recommending the inclusion of an instrument in core-sets.
League tables are powerful drivers of school behaviour, and we need the behaviour they encourage to be aligned with the outcomes we want to see.
By studying newly treated patients with major depressive disorder, the investigators found that the activity of brain cells in one particular brain region aligned with the outcomes for patients: if that region was more metabolically active than the rest of the brain, then patients tended to respond better to an antidepressant than to cognitive behavioral therapy.
Their success is aligned with client outcomes.
Incentives contribute directly to how we behave, and people make poor choices when the incentive is not aligned with ethical outcomes.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (PPACA) mandates the exploration of new approaches to coordinated health care delivery--such as patient-centered medical homes, accountable care organizations, and disease management programs--in which reimbursement is aligned with desired outcomes.
