The impact of political pressure and government/private agencies can also be seen when it comes to incentivizing certain types of medical treatments or services over others. For example, if an agency decides that certain treatments should receive higher reimbursements than others, then providers may be more likely to recommend those treatments even if other options could be just as effective but less costly. This can lead to unnecessary spending which could otherwise go towards improving patient care or reducing medical costs overall.
Overall, political pressure and government/private agencies have a significant effect on how financial incentives are distributed for meeting specific standards. It is important that these agencies recognize the potential consequences of their decisions so they can create policies which will benefit both healthcare providers and patients alike while still staying within budgetary constraints.
