SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposed Project AHRQ ACTION III—Measurement for Performance Improvement in Physician Practices This two-year project is an important first step to fully understanding measurement for performance improvement in medical groups. This exploratory research is expected to set the stage for informing future research and policy discussions, both of which could ultimately have a more direct impact on providers, payers, and patients. As a critical first step this research breaks new ground in an important area of health care research by looking at the current landscape to better understand how medical groups are using measurement internally to improve performance and what that means to them, and how internal measurement relates to external measurement obligations and identifying where the gaps are. Project success for this exploratory work will be more relevant given the complete context of the current landscape of performance measurement, gleaned through an environmental scan, expert input, and qualitative data collection. Ultimately, success will be measured by our ability to answer the research questions that are guiding this research project (see below). The overall goal of AHRQ’s Measurement for Performance Improvement in Physician Practices project is to identify the current gaps in our knowledge about how practices are using data, if at all, for performance improvement. AHRQ has developed this project to address the lack of current evidence on internal performance measurement in medical groups, identifying the following research questions: • What gaps exist in the research literature regarding management for performance improvement in medical groups? • What factors, both internal and external, drive efforts to use measurement to improve medical group performance? PO 00000 Frm 00039 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 • How are measures used to support internal management and improvement processes? • What additional activities support use of internal performance measures? • How are internal performance measures derived and reported? What specific measures, benchmarks, and comparisons are used? • How have physicians responded to these measurement processes? • What are the perceived benefits of internal measurement activities? What types of costs and other burdens are directly associated with internal measurement? How feasible is it to specify actual costs of reporting? • What implications does evidence on internal measurement for performance improvement have for payers, policy makers, executives in delivery systems, and clinical leaders? Specific Project Objectives • Identify specific measures/metrics used internally by medical groups to assess performance and support improvement activities. • Describe how internal measurement activities/measures are used in medical groups to support improvement in individual, team, or organizational performance including, but not limited to, how these activities are tied to ‘‘internal’’ financial incentives. • Identify types of costs and other types of burdens (e.g. staff resources, IT resources, etc.), directly related to internal measurement and reporting activities. Assess the feasibility of capturing information on costs and burdens of internal and external performance measurement, and, if feasible, collect data on the actual costs and other associated burdens of internal and external performance measurement. • Based on the findings, identify implications, potential impacts, and future research opportunities for payers, regulators, and medical groups regarding internal measurements for performance improvement. Efforts to improve performance among health care providers through measurement and reporting have evolved over time and have taken many forms and many names. For example, Triple Aim, Public Reporting, Performance Measurement, Quality Improvement, Pay for Performance are all common concepts today. And, most health care providers, including medical groups, are monitoring their performance using a wide array of quality measures that reflect care processes, clinical outcomes, and patient experiences. Increasing numbers of providers are required to report their performance on quality measures by E:\FR\FM\13APN1.SGM 13APN1
