Performance Measures Resources
Introduction
Welcome to the performance
measures section of the AAPM&R Web site. This section references full text
articles and abstracts of articles that discuss the use of performance measures
for quality improvement, pay-for-performance programs, and health information
technology. Performance measurement is the quantitative assessment of health
care processes and outcomes for which a health care practitioner, health care
organization, or health care system may be accountable. Pay-for-performance is
a payment model that joins quality of care with the level of reimbursement for
health care services.
The following tables provide references
to articles on performance measures and pay-for-performance programs related to
physical medicine and rehabilitation. In addition, there are links to established
performance measurement sets and online resources. To access these resources,
