    • Pilot schemes exhibit a significant internal operational focus.
    • Fear of income loss among hospital executives impedes interdisciplinary work.
    • Health authorities demonstrate a lack of oversight and responsibility.
    • Concerns regarding the creation of local health inequities are prevalent.

    Conclusions:

    • PMS pilot schemes require a broader strategic vision beyond internal operations.
    • Addressing financial disincentives is crucial for fostering collaboration.
    • Active leadership from health authorities is necessary for successful implementation.
    • Mitigating potential inequities must be a priority for equitable healthcare access.
