Abstract：
BACKGROUND:Studies examining the effectiveness of pay-for-performance programs to improve quality of care primarily have been confined to bonus-type arrangements that reward providers for performance above a predetermined threshold. No studies to date have evaluated programs placing providers at financial risk for performance relative to other participants in the program. OBJECTIVE:The objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of an incentive program conferring limited financial risk to primary care physicians. PARTICIPANTS:There were 334 participating primary care physicians in Rochester, New York. DESIGN:The design of the study is a retrospective cohort study using pre/post analysis. MEASUREMENTS:The measurements adhere to 4 diabetes performance measures between 1999 and 2004. RESULTS:While absolute performance levels increased across all measures immediately following implementation, there was no difference between the post- and pre-intervention trends indicating that the overall increase in performance was largely a result of secular trends. However, there was evidence of a modest 1-time improvement in physician adherence for eye examination that appeared attributable to the incentive program. For this measure, physicians improved their adherence rate on average by 7 percentage points in the year after implementation of the program. CONCLUSIONS:This study demonstrates a modest effect in improving provider adherence to quality standards for a single measure of diabetes care during the early phase of a pay-for-performance program that placed physicians under limited financial risk. Further research is needed to determine the most effective incentive structures for achieving substantial gains in quality of care.
