In May the Minnesota Department of Health released its third update to the Minnesota Quality Incentive Payment System for health care providers, since the program started in 2010.
The update includes the system's latest quality measures and performance thresholds for clinics and hospitals.
The incentive payment system, sometimes called pay for performance, is part of Minnesota's 2008 health care reform law. It was implemented in 2010. It is currently being used for participants in the state employee health plan and enrollees in state public insurance programs.
Use of this system by private health care purchasers—which are not required by law to adopt it—is also encouraged. The final framework can be found at Quality Incentive Payment System.
