Overview: Pay-for-performance programs have the potential to increase clinical quality and save lives, according to the first year of official data from the Premier/CMS Hospital Quality Incentive Demonstration Project, which is summarized in this report. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced on November 14, 2005 that it would pay $8.85 million in incentives to the top-performing hospitals in the project, which is managed by Premier, Inc.
