Question ID: 701166
Hi.  I am looking for links to recent reports, studies, evaluations,
journal articles, and surveys on Pay for Performance (P4P) in health
care in the US.  This includes P4P initiatives or programs to improve
health care quality, reward better or more efficient medical care, or
reduce medical errors.

Ideally, a wide mix of information and analysis published in the last
two years.  From think tanks, consulting firms, health plans,
organizations, trade associations, foundations, and government
agencies.  Mix of reports, studies, evaluations, and surveys that are
pro, con, or neutral / descriptive.  Don't need links to general
advice for health care consumers or patients.  Instead, I am looking
for materials with in-depth analysis, data, and/or commentary.  Prefer
links to these publicly available materials in PDF or PPT format.

For an example of an excellent research on another subject I recently
posted, please see: http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=439263

Happy to answer any questions.  Thanks!

NEWEST ISSUE BRIEF FROM THE ALLIANCE FOR HEALTH REFORM

"Pay-for-Performance: A Promising Start"

"Pay-for-Performance" programs attempt to reward quality health care
by setting different payment levels for providers based on how well
they meet benchmarks of quality and efficiency. More than 100
pay-for-performance programs were up and running in the U.S. as of
September 2005. This issue brief describes how the programs work, why
they were established and what challenges need to be addressed going
forward.
