Workforce Measurements in P4P
February 16, 2007
Several state Medicaid agencies are developing pay for performance (P4P) programs to increase reimbursement to nursing homes that meet workforce and other quality criteria. According to the lead article of the January/February issue of States in Action, the Oklahoma Health Care Authority is developing a tiered reimbursement system in which facilities will be evaluated based on staff turnover and other measures. Minnesota and Iowa are developing ways of measuring staff turnover and retention, among other factors, for systems that will award points to nursing facilities based on their performance on seven measures.
