California Physician Performance Initiative (CPPI)
The California Physician Performance Initiative (CPPI), begun in 2006, has developed a system to measure and report the quality of patient care that is provided by individual physicians in California. CPPI’s goal is to improve patient care and its affordability by:
- Reporting results to physicians to help them gauge how well care for their patients meets national standards of care.
- Applying the performance results in ways to help consumers and purchasers get better value when they choose and use health care.
- Adopting performance measures and reporting methods using the best available science to set performance standards.
This work is conducted by the California Cooperative Healthcare Reporting Initiative (CCHRI), which is a statewide collaborative of physician organizations, health plans, purchasers and consumers.

Blue Shield of California launched its physician quality recognition program June 1, 2010. Network physician listings include physician quality designations for a set of 8 CPPI quality measures. A set of physicians, who have sufficient patient samples to be reliably scored, have been designated as higher quality performing physicians for select preventive screening and chronic care measures. Blue Shield members can view this new information in the plan's online physician directory. See the Blue Shield announcement here.
Physicians in the Blue Shield network who would like to request a duplicate of the Physician Performance Report that you received last summer may request a copy here.
