Many healthcare agents, individual practitioners, institutions, and healthcare plans have specific

interests that call for encryption.

However, in the long run, the inevitable competition in the healthcare sector implies that both
quality and economic performance indicators are publicly accessible.

However, for sunshine regulation to be effective, the principle of public accountability should be

considered by any regulatory strategy.

Classically, there are two principal models of interventions in regulatory activity: compliance,
which means obtaining the operators’ agreement to the regulator’s objectives, and deterrence,

which suggests a coercive attitude hindering performance, appealing to the mechanisms legally

established for this purpose.

However, the two models and their corresponding regulatory strategies are not mutually
exclusive. Moreover, some organizations do comply with voluntary codes of conduct.

Nevertheless, different realities create the need to use the models in a casuistic manner.

The healthcare market’s atomicity should lead, in principle, to intervention at the deterrence level

due to the regulator’s difficulty in supervising all providers, for example, the numerous physicians’
offices in a liberal regime.

Meanwhile, the presence of a reduced number of operators is more pre disposed to compliance.

The expected consequences of the action also deserve a different approach.

For example, while discriminatory patient selection and cream- skimming deserve firm and
determined intervention, possibly resorting to legal sanctions, other milder deviations should only

be subject to regulatory prevention.
