TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Mechanisms for Controlling Costs A1 - Bodenheimer, Thomas A1 - Grumbach, Kevin PY - 2020 T2 - Understanding Health Policy: A Clinical Approach, 8e AB - In Chapter 8, we discussed the general relationship between costs and health outcomes and explored the tension between painful and painless approaches to cost containment. In this chapter, we examine specific methods for controlling costs. Our emphasis is on distinguishing among the different types of cost-control mechanisms and understanding their intent and rationale. We briefly cite evidence about how these mechanisms may affect cost and health outcomes.
