Is the pay-for-performance program associated with better quality of life among type 2 diabetes patients, including those with gastrointestinal conditions, in Taiwan? A cross-sectional survey
Our findings suggest that participation in the diabetes P4P program is associated with improved HRQoL among all patients with type 2 diabetes, including those with gastrointestinal comorbidities. A P4P model incorporating continuing education, coordinated care, and regular follow-up may be particularly beneficial in enhancing HRQoL for patients with gastrointestinal complications.
