A multi-stakeholder approach to creating
incentives for quality
The Physician Office Link is a Bridges
to Excellence program designed to create significant
leaps in the quality of care by recognizing and rewarding
health care providers who demonstrate that they have
implemented comprehensive solutions in the management
of patients and deliver safe, timely, effective, efficient,
equitable and patient-centered care.
Physician Office Link enables physician office sites
to qualify for bonuses based on their implementation
of specific processes to reduce errors and increase
quality. They can earn up to $55 per year for each patient
covered by a participating employer or plan. In addition,
a report card for each physician office describes its
performance on the program measures, and is made available
to the public.
