  • Pay for performance (P4P) is a market-based approach utilizing financial incentives.
  • P4P shifts provider reimbursement from fixed rates to quality-based variable compensation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the concept of pay for performance (P4P) in healthcare.
  • To discuss the goals, structure, limitations, and consequences of P4P initiatives.
  • To examine P4P's impact on emergency departments and provide a physician engagement strategy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of pay for performance principles and market-based healthcare solutions.
  • Analysis of P4P plan structures, objectives, and potential outcomes.
