Pay for Performance (P4P) is the hottest issue in health care today. From local business coalitions to regional and national health plans to the Federal government, P4P sponsors across the country are experimenting with new ways to drive quality improvement through incentives.
MCOL and the authors of the 2003 and 2004 national studies on provider pay for performance (P4P) programs -- Geof Baker and Beau Carter from Med-Vantage -- invite you to attend their upcoming national webcast and audio conference on the 2005 national P4P study results.
