Comment on the publication: Medical doctors' attitudes towards pay-for-reporting in Macedonia: A web-based cross-sectional survey

Abstract

We are truly glad for the interest in scientific approach towards the model for Payment-for- Activity (PPU), recently introduced in the Republic of Macedonia, taking in consideration that for the very first time a system is introduced capable of providing exact information on medical interventions or procedures performed in public healthcare facilities, and to use such information for evaluation of physicians' activity. In this context, we welcome the publication of Lazarevik et al. Medical Doctors' Attitudes towards Pay-for-Reporting in Macedonia: A Web-Based Cross-Sectional Survey. However, in order to further contribute towards the scientific discussion arising around the issue of payment for physicians' activity; we herewith present the following comments. © 2013 Smokovski I.
