Abstract/OtherAbstract:
This article is the first of two regarding capitation contract management. In this installment, we examine the factors that affect financial performance under a capitation agreement and how technology can play an important role in improving profitability. In part two, we will explore the range of new information-gathering needs a medical group, independent practice association, or physician-hospital organization (PHO) must consider under capitation and what kinds of internal systems need to be put in place to manage the contract.
