Let us posit that the patient's goal is to remain alive and well (maximize quality-adjusted life years). Let us posit that the doctor's goal is maximal renumeration. Cannot we simply compensate the doctor quarterly as a function of quality-of-life during that quarter along with some fixed retainer. Now the doctor hopes we remain alive and well as long as possible?
