Accountability is the name of the game. The increased emphasis on reimbursement and financial incentives that are tied to performance will place new demands on executives from across the health industry to develop and agree on quality measures.

They will rely more heavily on information technology and business intelligence tools to capture, store, retrieve and report quality information.

- Rob RobinsonI do think we`re still going to experience higher incentives in upcoming months, especially as the 2003 model year comes to a close. Inventories are pretty high at this point.
