Programs could improve processes of care

Question

Read the Mendelson, et al. article. The article states: In summary, we found low-strength, contradictory evidence that P4P programs could improve processes of care, but we found no clear evidence to suggest that they improve patient outcomes. Value-based purchasing is a cornerstone of the coming Medicare reform known as the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act, so P4P will remain a fixture in U.S. health care for the foreseeable future (94). Whether the inconsistency of positive findings suggests that P4P, broadly speaking, is unlikely to have large effects or is related to the marked differences in program design, patient population, and incentive target is unclear.
