The impact of remuneration, extrinsic and intrinsic incentives on interprofessional primary care teams: results from a rapid scoping review

Abstract

Background

High-performing primary care relies on effective interprofessional teams and provider payment arrangements. This study aims to examine the impact of provider remuneration mechanisms and intrinsic and extrinsic incentives in team-based primary care.

Methods

This rapid scoping review assessed various provider payment models and incentives in team-based primary care. Statistical tests were not applicable in this review.

Results

Fee-for-service models hindered team collaboration, while salaried and quality-based compensation models enhanced collaboration. Extrinsic incentives, such as pay-for-performance programs for physicians, showed mixed impacts on outcomes. Strong organizational cultures and leadership, resources, team meetings, training, clear protocols, and professional development opportunities facilitated teamwork. Intrinsic incentives like autonomy, mastery, and social purpose improved team performance and satisfaction.

Conclusions

This study underscores the importance of a holistic approach to designing interprofessional primary care teams. It highlights the need for implementing non-fee-for-service provider payment models and team-based pay-for-performance incentives. Investments in teams should include health human resources and leadership, training, guidelines, and professional development opportunities. Implementing a performance measurement framework for teams and regular public reporting can foster mastery. Continuous research and evaluation are crucial to optimizing teamwork and healthcare delivery in primary care settings.

Peer Review reports

Background

Globally, primary care (PC) systems are in crisis, with reports of shortages in the PC workforce and challenges with patient access [1,2,3]. The spread of interprofessional PC teams is recognized as one solution to the global crisis [1]. In Canada, several jurisdictions have introduced team-based models, which vary in their organizational structure, remuneration schemes, provider composition, governance mechanisms, enrolment of patients, and target population [4]. Interprofessional PC teams have a positive impact on patient health outcomes [5], patient satisfaction [6], reducing the number of hospitalizations, and emergency room visits - fostering cost-saving [7].

Interprofessional teams and funding and payment provider arrangements aligned with health system goals are key attributes of high-performing primary care (PC) systems [4, 8]. PC teams are a group of professionals from two or more disciplines that work interdependently to deliver patient care [9, 10]. Globally, several jurisdictions have embarked on the implementation and spread of PC teams [1]. Investments in team-based care have been made in Canada [11, 12], Brazil [13], Norway [14, 15], the United States [16, 17], Australia [18, 19], and New Zealand [20]. The organizational models vary in terms of team composition, populations served, funding and remuneration payment mechanisms and requirements for attachment [1, 21].

The evidence of impact on PC teams in Canada is also mixed and limited [22, 23], particularly in mature models such as in Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec [23, 24]. In Alberta, studies show that Primary Care Networks (PCNs) reduce emergency department visits while others demonstrate declines in care coordination and comprehensiveness [24,25,26,27,28]. In Quebec’s Family Medicine Groups (FMGs), the results are mixed with respect to impact on service use, equity, and access [29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36] and show no changes in chronic condition screening [37] or adherence to medication guidelines [38]. In Ontario, Family Health Teams (FHTs) have been shown to improve same-day access to care but show mixed results on the impact on emergency department visits and no impact on after-hours care or hospital admissions [39, 40].

Physician payment models refer to the various structures through which healthcare providers are compensated for their services [41]. A variety of physician payment models (fee-for-service (FFS), capitation, salary, blended payment) are used in PC teams [23]. A systematic review found salaried payment is associated with the lower use of tests, number of procedures and patients per doctor, and referrals but longer consultations and more preventive care compared with FFS [42]. However, the impact of various remuneration models on team collaboration or effectiveness is unknown. Extrinsic incentives provided by organizations and intrinsic incentives driven from within an individual have been demonstrated to improve team performance [23, 43,44,45,46]. However, their impact has not been studied in PC [23].

Remuneration models have been thought to impact team functioning [47] and the delivery of care within interprofessional PC teams [48]. For example, under an FFS model, physicians are reimbursed based on the volume of services rendered. This can impact team dynamics by prioritizing income over team collaboration [49]. Research has also shown that extrinsic and intrinsic motivators can increase patient satisfaction, improve clinical outcomes, and lead to more efficient healthcare delivery [50], including within interprofessional teams [51, 52]. Extrinsic incentives (pay raises, bonuses, professional development) can enhance team performance, quality of care and provider well-being [23, 53], and help with the retention of skilled professionals, ensuring continuity and consistency in patient care [54]. Intrinsic incentives (autonomy, advancement opportunity, personal satisfaction) can increase job satisfaction, engagement in work, and the sense of personal accomplishment [55,56,57].

To our knowledge, a comprehensive review has yet to be done to examine the impact of remuneration models, extrinsic and intrinsic incentives on patient, provider, team, and system outcomes in PC. Incentives refer to rewards or inducements, often financial or non-financial, offered to individuals or teams to motivate specific behaviors, actions, or outcomes. "Team outcomes" refers to the specific results or effects that are directly attributable to the functioning, collaboration, and performance of interprofessional teams within primary care settings.

In the evolving landscape of healthcare delivery, where team-based care is heralded as crucial to alleviating the PC crisis, this review can inform the design of team-based models, policy-making, and healthcare management [23]. This review aims to examine the impact of provider remuneration models and extrinsic and intrinsic team-based incentives on various outcomes in PC [23]. In the context of PC, the central research objectives of this scoping review are to: (a) examine the impact of provider (physician or nurse practitioner-led) remuneration models on outcomes; (b) identify extrinsic team-based incentives and their impact on outcomes; (c) identify intrinsic team-based incentives and their impact on outcomes.

Methods

Design

We conducted a rapid scoping review [58, 62] using the Arksey and O’Malley framework [59] and advice from knowledge synthesis specialists [60,61,62,63] to systematically identify and map key concepts in the peer-reviewed and indexed literature. We followed a five-step scoping review methodological process previously reported in our published protocol [23].

To conceptualize remuneration and extrinsic and intrinsic incentives, we identified and categorized the factors in each category based on a literature review (Table 1). This approach allowed us to capture a broad range of incentives reflecting how various factors can drive both personal and collective motivations within an interprofessional team. This review will examine incentives at the individual and group/team levels. Table 1 outlines whether the incentives are focused at the individual or team level. In this context, "factors" refers to specific elements or components that contribute to or comprise remuneration, extrinsic incentives, and intrinsic incentives.

Table 1 Intrinsic and extrinsic incentives framework

We searched for peer-reviewed literature in Medline, CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO and EconLit (see Additional File 1). We conducted a hand search of reference lists of included studies using forward and backward citation tracking [75]. We also conducted a grey literature search of the first 100 pages of Google and Google Scholar. This page limit was set to balance thoroughness and feasibility, as it allowed for the identification of relevant themes and sources without overextending the scope of the review. After 100 pages, results typically became less pertinent, with diminishing returns in relevance and quality. This approach ensured that we captured a representative sample of grey literature without compromising the timeliness of the review. Table 2 provides inclusion and exclusion criteria. In cases where reviewers did not reach consensus on the inclusion of an article, a third independent reviewer (MA) was consulted to provide a final decision.

Table 2 Inclusion and exclusion criteria

A data extraction form assisted with the narrative analysis to identify common themes in the data [59]. Two team members independently charted data using the data extraction form on Covidence and reviewed by the PI [59, 60]. The charted data was condensed into summary tables based on the research questions. A quality assessment of the included studies was independently conducted by two members using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) [83]. The MMAT was chosen for its versatility and established reliability in evaluating studies across qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods designs, making it well-suited for the diverse methodologies represented in this review [83]. The tool comprises a series of criteria specific to each methodological category, allowing reviewers to systematically assess the quality of studies in a standardized manner [83]. Two reviewers conducted the quality assessment independently, comparing results and discussing discrepancies to reach consensus.

Given the diverse nature of the included studies and outcomes, we opted for a narrative synthesis approach to better capture the complexities across methodologies [84]. As such, statistical analyses were deemed inapplicable, which aligns with the study protocol and scoping review reporting practices where frequency counts, rather than detailed statistical analyses, are often appropriate to summarize diverse types of evidence [23, 85].

Results

The reporting of this review was informed by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR) [86]. Figure 1 presents the PRISMA flowchart. 8835 records were initially screened, 194 underwent a full-text review, and 42 met the inclusion criteria. A hand search yielded an additional 29 articles.

The included studies were deemed high-quality according to the MMAT assessment (Supplemental Material 1).

Study characteristics

Table 3 provides an overview of article characteristics. The studies primarily originated from the UK (22.5%), USA (21.1%), and Canada (39.4%). Most studies employed either quantitative (37%) or qualitative (46%) study designs, with the remaining using mixed methods (17%).

Table 3 Article characteristics

Twelve studies (n = 12/71, 17%) assessed the influence of provider remuneration models in team-based PC on patient, provider, team, and system outcomes. The details are summarized in Table 4. Remuneration for salaried and FFS payment models were targeted to the individual, while blended capitation models could target the team or individual.

Table 4 Impact of provider remuneration models on outcomes

Several qualitative studies indicate salaried models are more conducive to teamwork [48, 143, 152]. These studies emphasized how non-hierarchical payment and funding models facilitated collaboration between physicians and nurses [48] and reduced financial hierarchy [152]. Studies show that FFS remuneration increases volume [109], discourages referrals to non-physician providers [48] and team collaboration [20] and does not sufficiently compensate for shared patients [143]. A study that examined the impact of shifting from FFS to a quality-based compensation model (payment for performance) [109] found the model was perceived to improve collaboration with colleagues and increase quality care but lowered the satisfaction of physicians [109]. A study from Portugal found the shift from salaried remuneration to blended capitation did not significantly affect avoidable hospitalization rates for ambulatory care-sensitive conditions [98].

In Canada, several studies evaluated team models with different provider remuneration models with respect to team, provider, patient, and system outcomes. However, the level of maturity, self-selection into models and confounding of remuneration and organizational models make interpretation difficult. It is important to note that these studies did not explicitly establish causal inferences regarding the impact of these remuneration models on outcomes. A quantitative study assessing team collaboration in different PC models in Ontario, Canada, revealed that Community Health Centers (CHC; a salaried model) scored significantly higher on the Collaborative Practice Assessment Tool (CPAT) compared to Family Health Teams (FHTs) (blended capitation) [113]. These findings were attributed to the maturity of the models, with the FHT model being less mature in developing inter-dependency between professionals, affecting teamwork.

A survey of providers found that CHCs outperformed other models in terms of provider-reported Family-Centered Care (FCC) scores [125]. However, patient-reported family-centered care (FCC) scores exhibited no significant differences [125]. CHCs' performance was attributed to clinical services, after-hours access, and nurse practitioners [125]. On system outcomes, the salaried CHC model, compared to blended capitation and enhanced FFS models, served a population with a higher proportion of disadvantaged and sicker individuals, recent immigrants, and patients with co-morbidities [39] and fewer emergency department visit rates [39]. CHCs also had significantly higher community orientation scores compared to FFS and blended capitation models [154]. However, another study found that CHCs had higher inpatient admission and readmission rates compared to FHTs [106]. The outcomes could have been influenced by a variety of factors, including residual confounding, health-promoting services, community engagement, and the nature of appointment scheduling [106].

Extrinsic incentives and impact on outcomes

Fifty-four (n = 54/71,76%) articles identified extrinsic incentives in PC teams and their impact on outcomes. The details are summarized in Table 5 and Fig. 2.

Extrinsic incentives and impact on outcomes

Pay-for-performance incentives

The majority of studies on P4P programs implied that incentives were offered at the individual level. P4P incentives at the individual level facilitated greater employment of nurses and data entry clerks, implementation of information technology [139] and managerial roles [108]. P4P incentives expanded the skills of nurses in chronic disease management and data recording, increased their perceived autonomy [124], improved job satisfaction [105, 124] and fostered teamwork [119, 122]. However, there were unintended consequences with the use of P4P incentives for providers and communities. P4P incentives increased the workload of nurses [104] [124] and unintentionally reduced their satisfaction [52]. It also potentially resulted in the de-skilling of GPs who delegated more chronic disease management activities to nurses [91]. Another unintended consequence was that the structure of incentives did not consider local context, which resulted in the inequitable distribution of incentives, with practices in more deprived populations receiving lower financial rewards [100]. Finally, the incentives resulted in the gaming of the system, with some practices achieving high scores by excluding patients from targets to achieve goals [93] for financial gain [122].

P4P incentives showed mixed results on the impact on clinical process indicators, with some studies showing some improvement in cardiovascular risk management, asthma [116] and diabetes [115]. In contrast, others showed no or limited impact on influenza vaccination, cervical cancer screening and mammography [140]. Small changes were attributed to low financial value, lack of physician awareness, competing incentives, and administrative burden [115]. Key quality indicators showed improvement in timely follow-up care, reduced time to depression improvement [148], increased quality care [119] and modest improvement in access to care for patients with chronic illness [92]. There was limited evidence on P4P incentives targeted to the team. Available evidence suggests that team incentives encourage collaboration and quality of care by improving the recording of patient diagnoses [91, 148].

Team training

Team training interventions have a positive impact on team collaboration, provider satisfaction, and the development of high-functioning PC teams [94, 117]. These interventions emphasize the importance of aligning organizational culture and reward systems with training efforts.

Resources

Adequate physical infrastructure [107, 112, 141] to support co-location [103, 111], financial resources for health human resources [151] and information technology [95] are essential for collaborative practice at the team level. Professional development opportunities contribute to team functioning by building trust and creating a sense of belonging [155].

Protocols, guidelines, and agreements

Structured protocols, guidelines, and agreements at the team level are crucial for fostering effective team collaboration [143, 151] by clearly defining the roles, responsibilities, and tasks of team members [88, 96, 107, 110, 111, 150, 151].

Team meetings

Team meetings promote effective team functioning [142], teamwork and collaboration [88, 102, 107, 110, 117]. Time devoted to meetings helps build relationships, clarify roles [88, 107, 151], enable communication [111], problem-solving [138], and build trust [87, 88, 94].

Organizational culture

A positive organizational culture facilitates team collaboration and effectiveness [97, 103, 118, 145, 149]. Team interactions contribute to developing shared team vision, objectives and expectations for better patient outcomes [127]. Hierarchical cultures are barriers to collaboration [117] and teamwork, while flatter organizational structures empower individuals and promote shared decision-making [112].

Trust [135], respect [103, 118, 149], and effective leadership [112, 144, 155] are integral to fostering a culture of open communication, collaboration, innovation [155] and resilience [111].

Intrinsic incentives and impact on outcomes

Twenty-two articles (n = 22/71,31%) identified intrinsic motivators (Fig. 3). Table 6 summarizes these articles in detail. The majority of these incentives were implemented at the individual level.

Autonomy

Empowering individual PC providers with decision-making authority, control over work processes, and ownership of patient care tasks is essential for effective interprofessional collaboration, team interdependence, and high-performing PC teams [90, 114, 121, 123, 133, 137]. Power structures associated with designations (e.g., most responsible providers) hinder collaboration [138]. Delegating tasks by physicians to non-physician staff [66] and interchangeable roles can lead to power struggles within the team.

Mastery and competence

Mastery and competence are powerful motivators at the individual level [66] that drive high-performing PC teams [114, 129, 137] and contribute to provider satisfaction [137]. Physicians find motivation in using performance data and monitoring progress over time to achieve mastery in their roles [66].

Social purpose

A deep-seated sense of social purpose and commitment to positively impact patients and colleagues drive provider engagement [66], commitment to teams [102, 110, 114, 136], and dedication to patient needs. Purpose occurs at both the individual and team levels. When social purpose is described, it is often based on the team's vision and addressed by managers [110].

Sense of belonging

Fostering a sense of belonging within teams plays a pivotal role in enhancing team dynamics, communication [96, 103] and developing high-performing teams since it mitigates provider burnout at the individual level, improves provider satisfaction and enhances patient care coordination [146]. PC providers emphasize the importance of feeling psychologically safe and being socially included within their teams. This sense of belonging is often perceived as more important to physicians than financial incentives [66].

Work-life balance

Maintaining a healthy work-life balance at the individual level, achieved through workload sharing and role interchangeability [121] is crucial for quality of life, job satisfaction [151], and job performance [114]. Interchangeable roles reduce the individual workloads of team members, reducing burnout rates and increasing job satisfaction, consequently increasing productivity and improving provider retention [114].

Job satisfaction

Collaborative teamwork significantly enhances job satisfaction at the individual level [155], which, in turn, has a profound impact on work performance and the quality of patient care [126].

Discussion

Understanding the impact of payment remuneration models and extrinsic and intrinsic motivators on outcomes is crucial for optimizing PC service delivery. The structuring of PC models varies significantly across countries, particularly concerning remuneration systems, which in turn influence the implementation and efficacy of these models. This review found that non-FFS funding models, such as salaried models, are perceived to enhance team collaboration among healthcare providers, as evidenced by qualitative studies that highlight the effectiveness of non-hierarchical payment structures in fostering interdisciplinary cooperation. These findings have relevance to countries such as Canada, where FFS payment arrangements are the dominant model [156], which incentivize volume over value, often discouraging referrals to non-physician providers, undermining team collaboration and consequently influencing the spread of interprofessional teams [157]. Research indicates that FFS can create financial hierarchies that limit integrated care approaches [152, 158]. This trend in payment models is different from other countries, such as the United Kingdom [159], Netherlands [160] and Norway [161], which have implemented alternative payment models in team-based settings. A recent Milbank Quarterly paper by Aggarwal and colleagues noted that several contextual factors influence how models are implemented in different countries. These factors include federalism, policy legacies on professional practice and remuneration, embedded power structures and dynamics between professions, the degree of financial investments and the state of the evidence [4].

Policymakers, medical associations, and stakeholders should implement or expand, adapt and co-design alternative payment models, including salaried or blended salary/capitation models in team models. To prevent the unintended consequences of cream skimming in capitation models or lack of productivity in salaried models, these models should be accompanied by risk-adjustment formulas as well as clear and enforceable accountability processes for the organization, administration, and providers, which are linked to performance. Since many studies focus on process evaluations, investments must be made in rapid, robust, and timely outcomes evaluations of PC models to help inform decisions about improvement and expansion.

P4P incentives are the most common extrinsic incentives offered to physicians in team-based care models, and their impact is mixed. We found few studies that examined the impact of P4P incentives where the team is rewarded for performance based on various metrics. This approach recognizes the contributions of non-physician providers within teams, who often inherit the work associated with P4P incentives. Policymakers and medical associations should consider piloting P4P programs that focus on incentives for the team. The metrics and associated incentives should be developed in consultation with stakeholders representing the interprofessional team to build consensus and adoption. Case studies from existing P4P initiatives, such as the Medicare Shared Savings Program in the United States and the UK’s Quality and Outcomes Framework, indicate rewards and performance evaluation systems for teams should be based on valid, reliable, feasible and important performance measures which are easy to understand, allow team members to feel in control over their measured performance and objective and are inclusive of all members [159, 162]. These incentives should be carefully designed to avoid unintended consequences that lead to a focus on specific conditions or populations and based on objective and measurable data [163] and focus on metrics related to teamwork, patient satisfaction and system outcomes, such as reductions in emergency room visits, improved access to care, and cost-effectiveness. Investments in team training should accompany the program. Regular assessment of the program will allow it to remain aligned with evolving healthcare goals, promote team collaboration [116, 164], and permit decision-making on widespread implementation.

This review also demonstrates that PC teams must be adequately supported by extrinsic incentives to function optimally. In the US, healthcare organizations have integrated advanced information technology systems, enhancing communication, data sharing, and coordination among team members, ultimately leading to improved patient care [165]. Similarly, other countries, including Australia and the UK, have implemented strategies ensuring access to sufficient physical space for team meetings, thereby promoting effective teamwork [166]. Globally, teams have been resourced by many disciplines, including physicians, allied health professionals and support workers [1]. In the United States, advanced medical office assistants and panel managers can be part of the core team [1, 22, 167].

To foster collaboration, consensus-based protocols, policies and guidelines should be developed by professional colleges and associations representing different disciplines with jurisdictions that clearly articulate the roles, responsibilities and tasks of different PC providers.

Investments are also needed in team and leadership training, as exemplified by the UK’s leadership training for healthcare providers [168] and the US’s TeamSTEPPS program, which has been shown to improve team dynamics and communication, enhancing patient care [169]. Salas et al. highlight that team training programs, when well-designed and implemented, can significantly improve communication, coordination, and cohesion within healthcare teams, leading to better patient outcomes and increased job satisfaction among providers [170]. Furthermore, Weaver et al. found that team training is associated with improvements in both teamwork processes and clinical performance, reinforcing the need for structured training programs in healthcare settings [171].

Intrinsically motivated individuals tend to outperform extrinsically motivated individuals, even when their abilities are comparable [172]. Research indicates that when providers feel they have authority and control over their work processes, they exhibit higher levels of engagement and collaboration [173, 174]. Feeling valued and included in a team fosters collaboration [175] and less provider burnout [176]. Furthermore, performance improves when team members feel psychologically safe to voice concerns and share ideas without fear of negative consequences [177, 178]. Clinical and administrative leads have an important role in fostering a positive organizational culture in which there is a shared vision, clear articulation of roles, a sense of belonging, and mutual trust and respect between providers. Thus, it is crucial to recruit and adequately compensate high-quality and experienced professional leaders and managers with the knowledge and skills to build and support high-performing PC teams. In addition, a co-dyad approach will be important for leading a team [179].

Since providers are motivated by performance, policymakers should consider implementing a public reporting system for performance metrics, as done in New Zealand and the UK, to increase transparency, improve accountability, and motivate providers to enhance performance [180, 181]. Organizational behaviour literature also suggests team metrics should be part of regular reporting so teams are motivated to improve their collaboration, communication, and overall performance [182]. A performance measurement framework for PC teams should be co-designed and implemented to assess team functioning and enable routine reporting for PC team models. PC providers should be involved in the design and ongoing development of public reporting to enable buy-in for the initiative. External motivators (e.g., compensation) can complement and reinforce PC teams' internal motivation for teamwork (e.g., cohesion) [94].

Limitations

Limitations of this study include the inclusion of English-only language documents, potentially excluding relevant studies and limiting the scope of the analysis. In addition, the restriction of the grey literature search to the first 100 pages of results may have resulted in the omission of additional relevant but less readily accessible sources beyond the 100-page cut-off. Consequently, some less widely disseminated grey literature may not have been captured, potentially impacting the comprehensiveness of findings. The categorization of intrinsic and extrinsic incentives was based on a literature review, which may have excluded specific extrinsic or intrinsic motivators. Moreover, the heterogeneity among included studies, stemming from differences in design, settings, and outcome measures, poses challenges in generalizing findings. Specifically, some studies employed intervention designs with multiple measurement periods and control conditions, while others were cross-sectional or non-interventional qualitative studies. This diversity in study design can impact the interpretation of findings. Future research should aim to build on the existing literature by employing robust study designs that can more effectively evaluate the long-term impacts of various remuneration models and incentive structures on primary care teams.

Conclusion

This study underscores the need for a holistic approach, incorporating remuneration models and both extrinsic and intrinsic incentives, to maximize the potential of interprofessional PC teams. Policymakers, medical associations, and stakeholders should implement non-FFS provider payment models, such as blended or salaried payments, to foster collaboration and performance. This should be accompanied by the piloting of P4P incentives program for teams. Investments must also be made in capital that allows for sufficient physical space, health human resources, information technology and digital tools, and professional development opportunities. Interprofessional teams should have access to team training opportunities and highly effective dyad leadership models. To enable teamwork, stakeholders representing interprofessional teams must come together to develop consensus-based, clear and concise protocols and guidelines on the scope of practice, roles, and responsibilities to enhance team collaboration. Since providers are motivated by mastery, robust performance measurement systems with regular public reporting on co-designed performance outcomes can promote accountability and transparency. As the landscape evolves, continuous research and evaluation will be crucial to ensure the optimization of teamwork and healthcare delivery in PC settings. Future studies should explore the long-term impacts of these interventions on team, provider, patient and system outcomes.
