gathered and reported data in the com- pensation report on quality and patient satisfaction metrics. While the measures are not yet domi- nant components of physician compen- sation, “as reimbursement models con- tinue to shift, the small changes we’ve observed recently will gain momentum,” said MGMA-ACMPE President and Chief Executive Officer Susan L. Turney, MD. “It’s encouraging to see physician prac- tices invested in patient-centered care and continuing to seek ways to better incorporate quality and experience into compensation methodologies.” TMA has created a suite of clinical quality tools to help physicians prepare for value-based care systems that will start paying based on quality measures and to take advantage of financial incen- tives offered by various quality improve- ment programs. Among the tools are:
• A clinical effectiveness flowchart to help practices evaluate themselves against evidence-based guidelines;
• A personal emergency and medica- tion reconciliation record for patients;
• Calculators for evaluating return on investment in providing preventive services and in pay-for-performance programs like Medicare’s Physician Quality Reporting System and Bridg- es to Excellence; and
• A list of national quality improvement programs and clinical effectiveness metrics used in public and commer- cial payer performance programs.
The tools are free and immediately downloadable at
