Incentive Structure Ethics

Meaning

Incentive Structure Ethics refers to the moral framework governing the design and implementation of reward systems, particularly within corporate wellness programs or clinical research, to ensure they promote genuine health improvement without coercion or exploitation. In the hormonal health space, this means ensuring that incentives for participation in a wellness program do not unfairly penalize individuals whose physiological or hormonal status makes achieving certain metrics clinically challenging. The ethical structure must prioritize patient well-being and autonomy over cost-saving measures.
