Effect of pay-for-performance incentives on quality of care in small practices with electronic health records: A randomized trial

摘要

ImportanceMost evaluations of pay-for-performance (P4P) have focused on large-group practices. Thus, the effect of P4P in small practices, where many Americans receive care, is largely unknown. Furthermore, whether electronic health records (EHRs) with chronic disease management capabilities support small-practice response to P4P has not been studied.
