 Is P4P in Your Future?
By David Yeager
With negotiations for pending healthcare reform legislation well under way, it’s worth considering how pay-for-performance (P4P) initiatives may affect radiology in the coming years. Although the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ Physicians Quality Reporting initiative includes some radiology indicators, mainly for interventional radiology and radiation oncology, these measures do not currently have a significant economic effect. However, pressure to cut medical costs may incite politicians to take a closer look at P4P. Our July 27 issue will feature a discussion with experts about how P4P may evolve.

| Worth Repeating… |
“Dramatic improvements and savings will take at least a decade. But a choice must be made. Whom do we want in charge of managing the full complexity of medical care? We can turn to insurers (whether public or private), which have proved repeatedly that they can’t do it. Or we can turn to the local medical communities, which have proved that they can. But we have to choose someone—because, in much of the country, no one is in charge. And the result is the most wasteful and the least sustainable health-care system in the world.”
