New Proposals for Accountable Care Organizations
Responding to an increase in errors in Medicare fee-for-services reimbursement, a group of freshmen Democratic senators has proposed an amendment to pending health care legislation which would create Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs).
According to colleague Robert Cimasi, MHA, ASA, CMP™, the amendment’s proposal would curb Medicare spending by reimbursing physicians and hospitals based on their ability to meet quality-of-care indicators and minimize overall costs, instead of reimbursing them based on the number of services they provide.
Any thoughts?

The “Hawthorne Effect”
According to wikipedia; the Hawthorne effect is a form of rectivity whereby subjects improve an aspect of their behavior being experimentally measured simply in response to the fact that they are being studied, not in response to any particular experimental manipulation. The term was coined in 1955 by Henry A. Landsberger when analyzing older experiments from 1924-1932 at the Hawthorne Works (a Western Electric factory outside Chicago).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawthorne_effect
For Physicians, medical clinicians and other busy professionals; therefore, education must be conducted efficiently. Furthermore, physicians should be encouraged to discuss key performance reports with other physicians who receive similar reports.
These discussions will help institute what is called the medical “Hawthorne Effect”, which means that merely having the knowledge of practice pattern variation will enable physicians on their own to seek ways to decrease their variation from peer practices.
Physicians do not like to be told how to practice medicine. However, it is ingrained in their culture to care about how they compare to their peers. This desire for quality care can be healthy and result in enhanced practices and medical outcomes.
