A new report from AHIP shows that health plans that recognize and reward physicians and hospitals for achieving national benchmarks, demonstrating outstanding performance and making measurable improvements over time showed improvements in patient care.
Some of the positive outcomes from pay-for-performance incentive programs according to the report were better adherence to evidence-based treatment guidelines for patients with chronic conditions; more patients getting recommended treatment following hospitalization; reduction in emergency room visits; increased generic prescribing rate; greater adoption of new technologies, such as electronic medical records, e-prescribing and patient registries; increased adherence to recommended preventive screenings and vaccinations; and enhanced patient satisfaction.
