Abstract:
Objective:To propose ideas for designing an incentive system that aligns with the unique characteristics of the medi-cal industry while maintaining altruism.Methods:The concepts of reciprocal altruism theory and gift exchange game experiments are introduced from the field of economics to incentivize physicians'altruistic behavior.Results:It proposes the indirect reciprocal altru-ism theory,which focuses on the three-party principal-agent relationship between physicians,patients,and management in the medical field.The compensation incentive concept that measures health value is also introduced.Additionally,it constructs a model for the incentive mechanism of physicians'altruistic behavior based on the three-party gift exchange game.Conclusion:Based on the concept of value-based incentives for physicians'altruistic behavior,it develops an incentive system that caters to the unique characteristics of the medical industry and promotes its high-quality development.
