Don't Be Left Out: Submit to the Largest P4P Survey by April 1

Over the last three years, Med-Vantage (www.medvantage.com) has fielded the largest and only longitudinal national survey of pay for performance (P4P) programs that reward physician and hospital providers. Med-Vantage has conducted the survey annually with results reported each spring.

This year a partnership between Med-Vantage and The Leapfrog Group has expanded the scope of the survey by including P4P programs targeting plans and incentive programs for consumers. This combined effort will enable the survey to provide a richer snapshot of the state of value-based health care purchasing and P4P.  

Access the survey and see a list of endorsing organizations at http://survey.medvantageinc.com/2006Survey/.

Some of this year’s survey data will also be used as the foundation of an updated database for Leapfrog’s new and improved Incentives and Rewards Compendium, which will be unveiled this spring. The current Compendium is freely available at http://ir.leapfroggroup.org/compendium/.

Your participation in the survey (deadline April 1) will provide interested stakeholders with information about trends and directions in incentives and P4P programs and will give you national recognition for your incentive and reward efforts. Working with you, we hope to increase public awareness of the new value-based purchasing and P4P models that are emerging and working to stimulate further improvement in health care. Feel free to forward this onto any and all interested parties.

This work is supported by Med-Vantage, The Leapfrog Group and The Commonwealth Fund (www.cmwf.org), a private foundation that aims to promote a high performing health care system by supporting independent research on health care issues and making grants to improve health care practice and policy.
