Linking Payments to the Production of Health

This meeting by the NAM’s Leadership Consortium Value Incentives & Systems Action Collaborative focused on considering the alignment of measures that drive most health care payments with individual/community/national health goals, including improved outcomes.

Motivating Questions:

  1. Vision: What are the necessary conditions to achieve a manageable set of “measures that matter” when it comes to tying performance measures to the outcomes that matter most to patients and clinicians?
  2. Facilitators & barriers: What progress has been made with respect to the establishment of a core set of outcomes-based performance measures? What untapped opportunities and conceptual, technical, regulatory, or other barriers remain?
  3. Advancing progress: How do we balance the need to reduce provider measurement burden while addressing gaps that remain with respect to our current portfolio of outcomes-based performance measures? How should future cycles of core measure development be funded and how can we expand the standardization of measures in use across government and commercial payers beyond what’s currently being done?

Outcomes from this meeting seek to identify and validate measures that matter most, link payment to performance on those measures, and identify implementation levers.
