Abstract: | The ultimate challenge in dealing with any type of risk incentive system is to be able to integrate the quality of care and the cost of care into an equitable system and to monitor the system and detect either barriers to care or the withholding of appropriate services. We believe it is possible to do this and have based our incentive model upon this premise. At U.S. Healthcare, we have been successful in developing some measures of quality in the ambulatory setting and have tied the measurements to our payment mechanism. |
