In 2003, the new CMS/Premier Hospital Quality Incentive Demonstration Project--a new type of pay-for-performance pilot project--was set up to financially reward hospitals that improved their care in five clinical areas. The top government players announcing the demo may have left for other endeavors, but 268 hospitals affiliated with Premier are participating in the initiative. With preliminary results in from the first year and the first payments due to be sent out this fall, The Quality Letter for Healthcare Leaders looks at what participating hospitals have accomplished in this pilot program with that financial carrot.
2003年，新的医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心/卓越医院质量激励示范项目——一种新型的按绩效付费试点项目——启动，旨在对在五个临床领域改善医疗服务的医院给予经济奖励。宣布该示范项目的主要政府官员可能已投身其他工作，但卓越联盟旗下的268家医院正在参与这一项目。随着第一年的初步结果出炉，且首批款项将于今年秋季发放，《医疗保健领导者质量通讯》审视了参与项目的医院在这一有经济诱因的试点项目中所取得的成果。
