In 2013, the Joint Learning Network released a white paper entitled “Provider Payment Reform and Information Technology Systems: A Chicken and Egg Question for National Health Coverage Programs”. This paper provides a conceptual framework for understanding the Information Technology requirements of various payment methods. It explores the choices, trade-offs, and implications by highlighting areas where complexity and costs arise from these decisions.
