Financial incentives are no doubt important for driving physician participation in Pay For Performance (P4P) programs nationwide; however, there are many other reasons why physicians are choosing to participate in programs that measure individual performance.

Frost & Sullivan spoke with three physician thought leaders - Dr. Susan Nedza, with the Special Program Office, Value Based Purchasing at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services; Dr. Ralph Brindis, the Chief Medical Officer and Chairman of the National Cardiovascular Data Registry and past Chair of the American College of Cardiology Quality Strategic Oversight Committee and Dr. Bruce Bagley, medical director for quality improvement of the American Academy of Family Physicians to find out about their perspectives on performance measures.

Two case-studies of family physicians, Dr. Rob Lamberts and Dr. Christopher Crow, who have profitably adopted performance measures in their practices, are also presented.
