Management

  • pay for performance did not lead to better quality of care or outcomes in patients with hypertension [1]
  • hospital-based pay for performance did not improve 30-day mortality in the US[3]
  • hospital-based pay for performance did improve 30-day pneumonia-related mortality in the United Kingdom[4]; no improvement in 30-day mortality related to heart failure or myocardial infarction
  • pay for performance does not extend life span or diminish mortality in the U.K.[5]

Notes

  • Checklist part A: Is a financial incentive appropriate?[2]
    • does the desired clinical action improve patient outcomes?
    • will the desired clinical behavior persist without intervention?
    • are there valid, reliable & practical measures of the desired clinical behavior?
    • have the barriers & enablers to improving clinical behavior been assessed?
    • will the financial incentives work, & better than other interventions to change behavior, & why?
    • will the benefits clearly outweigh any unintended harmful effects, & at an acceptable cost?
  • Checklist part B: Implementation[2]
    • are systems & structures needed for the change in place?
    • how much should be paid, to whom, & for how long?
    • how will the financial incentives be delivered?
  • Comment from editorial[2] "despite a dearth of robust evidence that [pay-for-performance] is clinically effective in healthcare, payers charge ahead with implementing everywhere an intervention that has not been proven to work anywhere."[2]
  • no evidence after 10 years that pay-for-performance results in better process scores or diminished mortality[6]
  • Medicare Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) affects reimbursement via penalties & bonuses for performance across several cost & quality measures, but does not affect clinical outcomes[7]
