...to protest the performance-based pay system, leaving only the minimum number of workers required to provide services. "We must stop the introduction of the merit pay system, which puts workers in competition to earn money from ill patients," union leaders said one day earlier at a press conference at the Seoul Nat'l Univerity Hospital.

Since it is tricky to quantify performance at hospitals, workers say they will be measured based on medical fees they generate, which will motivate them to make patients undergo unnecessary tests and treatments. They could also charge fees for services which were originally free, or buy low quality medical supplies in order to reduce costs, which will negatively affect patients. "Performance-based pay will make institutions, which exist for the public, operate according to capitalism. This will result in squeezing money out of patients or only treating patients who need expensive treatments ― hospitals will forget their duty and become commercialized," KHMU activists said...(source: Hankook Ilbo, 9.27/related reports in Korean you'll get on LabourStart)
