Quality Insights Hospital Incentive Program
Categories: Change Incentives to Promote Better Care
Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield’s Quality Insights Hospital Incentive Program (Q-HIPSM) is a hospital quality program involving voluntary reporting of nationally vetted and recognized evidence-based quality indicators in three categories: patient safety, patient health outcomes and member satisfaction. In addition, the program incorporates quality metrics and pay-for-performance incentives for important patient safety initiatives, and its review process is transparent. The Plan audits and externally validates the submitted hospital all-payer data, helping to ensure that the reporting hospital is promoting high quality and safe healthcare for all patients.
