Main facilitating factors were the advanced data infrastructure in place, communication and transparency about the programme's parameters, and the programme's focus on mitigating financial risk and uncertainty for providers. Shared savings models - even when added as a mere complement to existing volume-driven payment methods - could enhance value in health systems
