US Physician Practices Spend More Than $15.4 Billion Annually To Report Quality Measures. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Each year US physician practices in four common specialties spend, on average, 785 hours per physician and more than $15.4 billion dealing with the reporting of quality measures. While much is to be gained from quality measurement, the current system is unnecessarily costly, and greater effort is needed to standardize measures and make them easier to report.
