Incentives haven't always been ...

Hi

Medicine is a business and there are powerful commercial forces involved. There is a lot of
money at stake, and the incentives haven’t always been aligned with patient well-being.

I take it to mean that the patient's well-being is not always most important.
However I'm not sure why the author used the word "incentives"?
