Pay-for-Performance Analysis
The trend of rising medical costs and growing chronic care conditions, in conjunction with the pursuit of better healthcare use and quality, have driven the movement toward pay-for-performance initiatives. Such P4P programs align financial reward with improved outcomes by differentiating payment among members of the value chain based not just on reporting but on detailed measures of efficiency and quality. The success of early P4P programs is leading to broader adoption, and along with it, a growth in the supporting volumes of data and complexity of analysis. Netezza offers its customers the performance and scalability to keep up with such demands.
