abstract: 'Poor health status, rapidly escalating health care costs, and seemingly
|
||
|
|
||
|
little association between investments in health care and health
|
||
|
|
||
|
outcomes have prompted a call for a ``pay-for-performance{''''} system to
|
||
|
|
||
|
improve population health. We suggest that both health plans and
|
||
|
|
||
|
clinical service providers measure and report the rates of 5 behaviors:
|
||
|
|
||
|
1) smoking, 2) physical activity, 3) excessive drinking, 4) nutrition,
|
||
|
|
||
|
and 5) condom use by sexually active youth. Because preventive services
|
||
|
|
||
|
can improve population health, we suggest that health plans and clinical
|
||
|
|
||
|
service providers report delivery rates of preventive services. We also
|
||
|
|
||
|
suggest that an independent organization report 8 county-level
|
||
|
|
||
|
indicators of health care performance: 1) health care expenditures, 2)
|
||
|
|
||
|
insurance coverage, 3) rates of unmet medical, dental, and prescription
|
||
|
|
||
|
drug needs, 4) preventive services delivery rates, 5) childhood
|
||
|
|
||
|
vaccination rates, 6) rates of preventable hospitalizations, 7) an index
|
||
|
|
||
|
of affordability, and 8) disparities in access to health care associated
|
||
|
|
||
|
with race and income. To support healthy behaviors, access to work site
|
||
|
|
||
|
wellness and health promotion programs should be measured. To promote
|
||
|
|
||
|
coordinated care, an indicator should be developed for whether a
|
||
|
|
||
|
clinical service provider is a member of an accountable care
|
||
|
|
||
|
organization. To encourage clinical service providers and health plans
|
||
|
|
||
|
to address the social determinants of health, organizational
|
||
|
|
||
|
participation in community-benefit initiatives that address the leading
|
||
|
|
||
|
social determinants of health should be assessed.'
