Performance Incentives

Pay for performance in primary and specialty behavioral health care: Two "concept" proposals.

“…The bonus for achieving improved behavioral treatment outcomes might be trivial when compared with the cost of earning them (Alper, 2005). For example, in medicine there is minimal cost to the clinician in ordering a beta-blocker after a myocardial infarction or obtaining a Pap smear.…”

PAMAM dendrimer-palladium complex catalyzed synthesis of five-, six- or seven membered ring lactones and lactams by cyclocarbonylation methodology

“…Transition metals and their complexes functioning as catalysts for carbonylation reactions usually promote the introduction of a carbonyl moiety into an organic molecule. Among the most interesting and synthetically useful carbonylation reactions is the cyclocarbonylation of unsaturated alcohols and amines [5][6][7]. These transformations provide convenient and effective strategies for the synthesis of lactams and lactones, which have potential applications in the area of pharmaceuticals [8,9].…”
