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
