Physician Office Overview
Building on its ongoing strategies and programs in other healthcare settings, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) established the Physician-Focused Quality Initiative in order to:
-
assess the quality of care for key illnesses and clinical conditions that affect many people with Medicare
-
support clinicians in providing appropriate treatment of the conditions identified
-
prevent health problems that are avoidable
-
investigate the concept of payment for performance
