The Pacific Business Group on Health (PBGH), a business coalition of 50 purchasers, recently released two reports:
" Using Administrative Data to Assess Physician Quality and Efficiency " outlines quality measures that address structure, process, and outcome metrics currently in use. Commercially available cost efficiency software measures relative use of resources after defining episodes of care, considering attribution, and adjusting for risk. The report describes an array of national initiatives engaged in the development, endorsement, or deployment of standardized measurement.
"Aligning Physician Incentives" documents agreement by a diverse group of stakeholders to endorse performance-based payment of physicians.
