Quality Improvement Monitor, March 10, 2005

The American Medical Association (AMA) on March 2 released a new set of pay-for-performance principles to help guide the formation of incentive-based reimbursement programs.

Pay-for-performance programs must include the following five principles, the AMA said:

  • Ensure quality of care
  • Foster the relationship between patient and physician
  • Offer voluntary physician participation
  • Use accurate data and fair reporting
  • Provide fair and equitable program incentives
