Quality Incentive Pool (QIP) Program Data (Year 3)

The Department of Health Care Services implemented a managed care QIP in Designated Public Hospitals (DPH) beginning with the July 1, 2017, rating period. The Department directed Managed Care Plans to make QIP payments based on performance metrics in four strategic categories: primary care, specialty care, inpatient care, and resource utilization. The datasets include self-reported data on these metrics from DPH annual reports. Additionally in Year 3, entities reporting on Comprehensive Diabetes Care measures were required to further stratify reported data by age, gender, and race/ethnicity.
