Pay for Performance
Pay-for-performance (P4P) programs use financial incentives to stimulate improvements in the quality of care and, in some cases, reductions in costs. To achieve these goals, P4P programs use a variety of performance measures, including clinical processes of care and health outcomes, patient safety, patient experience with receiving care, resource use (i.e., efficiency), and structural indicators such as information technology investment and use.
