Explanation and Sample of 2009 Physician Performance Report

The purpose of the Physician Performance Reports is to advise physicians of the quality measurement work that is underway in California, to share results with physicians, and to begin an information exchange about ways to improve the measurement data and performance.

While the California Cooperative Healthcare Reporting Initiative has no plans at this time to publicly report these results, the three participating health plans will determine how these results will be used with their client, members and participating physicians upon receipt of the information in fall 2009.

The 2009 Physician Performance Reports will be mailed to physicians during the last week of July 2009.  California physicians who contracted with one or more of the three largest PPOs in California (Anthem/Blue Cross, Blue Shield and United Healthcare) and the Anthem/Blue Cross and Blue Shield HMOs were eligible to have received a report.  Using the 2008 data, approximately 20,000 physicians had a reliable score for at least one of the sixteen measures and received a Physician Performance Report.

The California Physician Performance Initiative clinical quality results were mailed to more than 13,000 California physicians on July 24, 2009.

Corrections provided by September 18, 2009 were applied to correct the quality results before the information was provided to the CPPI participating health plans.

Corrected results were emailed to physicians who provided an email when requesting a patient list.  Physicians who submitted corrections by the deadline can request a copy of their corrected scores here.
