Formerly known as California’s Value-Based Pay-for-Performance (VBP4P), the Integrated Healthcare Association stewards AMP. This program rewards physician organizations with both financial and non-financial incentives based on performances on select measures. These performance measures cover various aspects of healthcare delivery: clinical quality and safety, efficiency, patient experience and health information technology adoption. Sponsors of these programs typically include government agencies, health insurance plans, employers, healthcare providers, and a variety of coalitions.

Question #3
What are the components of an audit?
Answer: The AMP audit begins with a kickoff meeting to review the process, schedule, and designate roles/responsibilities. Next your PO answers baseline questions in a Roadmap that the auditor uses to assess the conformance to specifications. We'll conduct an on-site visit to observe your systems and processes, and ask you to produce a series of queries to help validate your results. We validate your measure results, benchmarking them to other self-reported groups and comparing the year-over-year results. The audit culminates with a Final Audit Report, summarizing the audit methodology and findings.
