Pay for performance is an emerging movement — in which providers are rewarded for the quality of their health care services — among health plans and insurers (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and others). Some programs are initially providing financial incentives to participate in quality reporting. However, the overall movement focuses on financially rewarding high quality patient care or financially penalizing poor quality of care. The CHA Board has adopted a partial payment or non-payment policy related to billing for preventable adverse events that are under the control of the hospital.
