Getting
It Right: Designing Outcomes-Based Physician Incentive Compensation
Over the
past 3 years, millions of dollars have been awarded to
physicians as quality improvement incentives. Health plans are
"rushing" to develop performance-related physician incentive
programs. And CMS has now introduced its own incentive
demonstration for medicine. Managed care is widely embracing this
initiative, while physicians remain skeptical.
Is there
a "right way" to get physician buy-in of pay-for-performance
(P4P)? What makes for an effective outcomes-based incentive
program?
Listen to
this executive-level teleconference on CD-ROM. This special program was
sponsored by Managed
Care Information Center. This conference was held on July 28, 2005.
