Leapfrog Unveils New Provider Tools

The Leapfrog Group has unveiled two new provider tools, both of which are geared toward a value-driven healthcare system. The Leapfrog Incentive and Reward Compendium is a free, searchable, sortable database that categorizes and describes financial programs - such as those that reward providers with quality bonuses, and non-financial programs. These programs aim to impact hospitals, physicians, health plans and consumers. The compendium may be viewed at: http://www.leapfroggroup.org/compendium2 

The P4P Decision Tool is an online, interactive guide designed to help users understand the range of options available in designing and implementing an incentive and reward program. After inputting the requested information, the tool generates a list of programs -drawn from the Leapfrog Compendium - that best meet their needs. The list is supplemented with detailed descriptions as well as contact information. The P4P Decision Tool may be viewed at: http://www.leapfroggroup.org/compendium_dt_home
