value and challenges of P4Q programs
in safety net settings. The P4Q
evaluation is designed to assess whether
P4Q programs in such settings appear to
improve quality on the measures that
are the focus of the programs and also
whether the programs lead to
unintended consequences. the P4Q
evaluation will also seek to identify
design and implementation practices
that are likely to increase as well as
decrease the risks of negative outcomes
resulting from the implementation of
P4Q programs in safety net settings.
Data collection in the P4Q evaluation
will be approved by the Boston
University’s Medical Campus
Institutional Review Board. It will be
conducted in accordance with the
