About the P4P Project

The Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers is ramping up our pay for performance capacity building initiative, ‘ABC’s of Community Health Centers: Assuring quality, Balancing pay for performance and Continuing to improve.’ We have partnered with funders Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Partners Healthcare System, and Neighborhood Health Plan to offer a full curriculum of workshops, trainings, and events.

Based on a needs assessment and a broad review of the external environment of P4P activities, the following have been identified as critical issues to be addressed through this project:

Development of a strategic change leadership approach supporting improvement team models and systems;

Identification and addressing of gaps in self–perception of care provided compared to evidence based and documented care and addressing health disparities;

Support for the design of and resources needed to expand improvement systems to be used across the center’s services, providers, and staff;

Strengthened documentation of care, coding and capture of provider services within billing and reporting functions;

Strengthened use of existing internal data for management of expectations and outcomes strategies of provider teams;

Enhancement of available data, reports, information systems and clinical decision making tools to support performance management and improvement initiatives;

Adoption and sustainability of project best practices for continued success under pay for performance and quality incentives.

The target audience is pairs of Chief Financial Officers and Medical Directors from the health centers.
