Integrated Healthcare Association

The align. Measure. Perform. (amp) program is one of the largest, most established value-based Healthcare performance improvement programs in the country. Amp uses a common stakeholder-approved measure set and methodology to create clear performance benchmarks and reward high-performing providers. Initiated in 2001, the program now includes participation from 13 health plans and nearly 200 California physician organizations caring for over 13 million californians. Amp's four program components work together to encourage continuous improvement. 1) a common set of performance measures and benchmarks helps participants focus on the most important quality improvement efforts and use resources more efficiently. 2) health plans get a recommended value-based incentive payment design that they can adapt as needed to reward high-performing providers. 3) amp's program results are publicly reported each year, allowing consumers to compare provider performance within their area. And 4) each year, top-performing providers and those demonstrating the greatest year-to-year improvement are recognized.
