abstract: 'Background: Socioeconomic deprivation is associated with inequalities in
|
|
|
|
health care and outcomes. Despite concerns that the Quality and Outcomes
|
|
|
|
Framework pay-for-performance scheme in the UK would exacerbate
|
|
|
|
inequalities in primary care delivery, gaps closed over time. Local
|
|
|
|
schemes were promoted as a means of improving clinical engagement by
|
|
|
|
addressing local health priorities. We evaluated equity in achievement
|
|
|
|
of target indicators and practice income for one local scheme.
|
|
|
|
Methods: We undertook a longitudinal survey over four years of routinely
|
|
|
|
recorded clinical data for all 83 primary care practices. Sixteen
|
|
|
|
indicators were developed that covered five local clinical and public
|
|
|
|
health priorities: weight management; alcohol consumption; learning
|
|
|
|
disabilities; osteoporosis; and chlamydia screening. Clinical indicators
|
|
|
|
were logit transformed from a percentage achievement scale and modelled
|
|
|
|
allowing for clustering of repeated measures within practices. This
|
|
|
|
enabled our study of target achievements over time with respect to
|
|
|
|
deprivation. Practice income was also explored.
|
|
|
|
Results: Higher practice deprivation was associated with poorer
|
|
|
|
performance for five indicators: alcohol use registration (OR 0.97; 95
|
|
|
|
\% confidence interval 0.96,0.99); recorded chlamydia test result (OR
|
|
|
|
0.97; 0.94,0.99); osteoporosis registration (OR 0.98; 0.97,0.99);
|
|
|
|
registration of repeat prednisolone prescription (OR 0.98; 0.96,0.99);
|
|
|
|
and prednisolone registration with record of dual energy X-ray
|
|
|
|
absorptiometry (DEXA) scan/referral (OR 0.92; 0.86,0.97); practices in
|
|
|
|
deprived areas performed better for one indicator (registration of
|
|
|
|
osteoporotic fragility fracture (OR 1.26; 1.04,1.51). The
|
|
|
|
deprivation-achievement gap widened for one indicator (registered
|
|
|
|
females aged 65-74 with a fracture referred for a DEXA scan; OR 0.97;
|
|
|
|
0.95,0.99). Two other indicators indicated a similar trend over two
|
|
|
|
years before being withdrawn (registration of fragility fracture and
|
|
|
|
over-75 s with a fragility fracture assessed and treated for
|
|
|
|
osteoporosis risk). For one indicator the deprivation-achievement gap
|
|
|
|
reduced over time (repeat prednisolone prescription (OR 1.01;
|
|
|
|
1.01,1.01). Larger practices and those serving more affluent areas
|
|
|
|
earned more income per patient than smaller practices and those serving
|
|
|
|
more deprived areas (t = -3.99; p = 0.0001).
|
|
|
|
Conclusions: Any gaps in achievement between practices were modest but
|
|
|
|
mostly sustained or widened over the duration of the scheme. Given that
|
|
|
|
financial rewards may not reflect the amount of work undertaken by
|
|
|
|
practices serving more deprived patients, future pay-for-performance
|
|
|
|
schemes also need to address fairness of rewards in relation to
|
|
|
|
workload.'
