“According to University of Michigan Health Systems, a five-year ongoing study involving 10 large physician practices across the country has so far shown improved quality of care for chronic disease patients from the use of health information technology.
The study named the Medicare Physician Group Practice Demonstration , was launched by the center for Medicare and Medicaid Services to enable physician practices to demonstrate that proactive and coordinated care has the potential for larger revenue savings. It is a first pay-for-performance project to work directly with physician practices.”
