Survey: Physicians wary of pay-for-performance risks

More than three in four primary care physicians favor pay-for-performance programs if quality measures are accurate, according to a survey by researchers at the University of Chicago. But most physicians believe that neither health payers nor the government would "try hard to make such measures accurate" and there is little confidence this will change, researchers found.

Researchers also found that only 32 percent of physicians support public reporting of the individual physician's quality scores, while only 45 percent support public reporting of quality scores on the medical group level, even if the measures involved are accurate.
