IHA P4P 2005 Measurement Set Now Includes Physician Incentive Bonus:

Physician groups can receive up to an additional 10% for a physician-level incentive program incorporating regular measurement and feedback on clinical metrics and patient experience to individual physicians. This payment is in addition to financial incentives for clinical performance and patient experience; it is designed to have a multiplier effect on physician group performance. To qualify, groups should have an approved policy describing a physician-level incentive and reward program based on regular measurement and feedback to physicians on individual performance for clinical measures and patient experience surveys and an incentive program based on those results. The incentives may be financial or other types of rewards/consequences. Regular feedback and rewards should be instituted prior to December 31, 2005.

 
 
Ascender P4P goes beyond self-reporting clinical measures at the end of the year. Reports can be viewed throughout the measurement year. Data compiles can be scheduled weekly or monthly, with new data views generated using current source data. This type of regular measurement of and feedback on clinical metrics for individual physicians can lead to additional P4P bonuses. Physician groups can use this feedback to proactively affect their P4P scores during the year and to create significant improvements in patient care.
