April 2013
Presentation to the Quebec Medical Association
2. Outline of the Presentation
1. Definitions and Terms and Concepts
2. The experience in British Columbia
3. Tools for physicians considering a patient-
focused funding initiative
3. Key Messages
• It is possible to create successful programs for
patient-focused funding—as long as you know
what you are getting in to
• There are lessons to learn from British
Columbia
• The secret to success lies in adopting a
common purpose around quality care and in
meeting the needs of payers and providers
4. Getting the Definitions Right
Patient Focused Funding
Pay for Performance:
Links the provider’s performance to
compensation
Activity Based Funding:
Links the number and case-mix of
patients treated with hospital income
5. Relative Rank
#1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10
Incentives for top performers to
maintain effort
Less incentive for performers unlikely to
achieve

How can we improve the
quality of care for patients?
28. How can physicians ensure
successful collaboration?
1. Reflect on the assumptions behind incentive programs
2. Ensure the payer’s needs are met (triple aim)
3. Ensure physicians’ needs are met (value, train, pay, support)
4. Put all the pieces in place (RISQy business)
5. Adopt the common purpose of improvement for patients
Editor's Notes
In the next few slides, I’d like to go over some of the conceptual challenges around patient-focused funding. Since this audience is familiar with the challenges around global budgeting--indeed, it is precisely those challenges that have led Quebec and other Canadian provinces to examine these alternative methods of funding—I will not focus on those particular issues. Instead, I will examine here the advantages and disadvantages of various patient-focused funding arranagements.Let’s start first with pay for performance.
The first possible arrangement, which is also conceptually the simplest, is “relative rank.” Here, the top performers are given a bonus. Note that the reward is not for any absolute achievement, but rather their performance relative to their peers. Any initiative, for example, where the top 10% of hospitals are given a bonus, would fall into this category.The clearest advantage of such a program is that it gives and incentive for the top performers to maintain their effort.
Taken together, these are some challenging assumptions. And perhaps it is because the simple idea of offering a financial reward
