Pay for Performance (P4P) in Health Care - Latest Studies and Reports
  • 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!
