February 3, 2008
by Meredith B. Rosenthal and R. Adams Dudley. In: Journal of the American Medical Association 2007 February 21;297(7):740-4.
The authors review five key design elements of pay-for-performance programs that are important determinants of their influence:
- deciding on an individual vs. group focus for payment;
- paying the right amount;
- selecting high-impact performance measures;
- having payments reward all high-quality care; and
- making quality improvement for underserved populations a priority.
