As health care costs continue to rise, employers are seeking innovative solutions to ensure that their employees have access to high-quality care while also controlling expenses.
Measuring the quality of care provided by an individual physician has many challenges, but it is possible. A realistic framework for scoring physician performance must go beyond the traditional focus on process of care and cost and also consider appropriateness of care.
If your employees see low quality providers, your organization could end up paying for unnecessary services of care, higher complication rates, and productivity losses from issues that could have been avoided with higher quality care.
