The predominant model for the delivery of health care in the United States and other parts of the world is fee-for-service. A new model gaining in popularity is known as pay-for-performance, or P4P. In the P4P model, providers are paid for how well they provide care, not how much care they provide. There are rewards for high quality, efficient and effective care and penalties for wastefulness and medical errors. Whether or not P4P can raise the standards of care and/or lower its cost is a matter of some disagreement.

UNFORMATTED ATTACHMENT PREVIEW

External Forces on Health Care Quality and Safety Health care quality and safety are not controlled solely by the actions of individual providers or managers within those organizations, or by the patient or patient advocate. External forces, such as governments, regulating agencies, or insurance companies, exert a profound influence on the ability of health care organizations to promote quality and safety. Another important influence is the model of health care delivery under which care is provided. An innovative delivery model, known as pay-for-performance (P4P), has the potential of improving quality by rewarding providers for the quality of care they provide, not the quantity of care. This week, you identify and analyze external forces that influence quality, including the pay-forperformance model of health care delivery. Learning Objectives
