Health systems may use a variety of financial incentive programs to encourage improvements in the quality and efficiency of health care delivery. The payment of rewards to physicians, however, creates financial relationships that may implicate, that is, give rise to concern under, federal fraud and abuse laws designed to protect against undue influences on medical judgment.
