Quality Monitoring and Management in Commercial Health Plans
The American Journal of Managed Care, 06/16/08
Landon BE et al. - Almost all health plans measured their performance on multiple indicators of quality. The majority of health plans also collected data at the level of the individual physician or group and used these data in quality improvement activities, but not in public reporting. Thus, adoption of physicianlevel performance measurement and reporting by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will likely entail a major change for individual physicians.
