项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the United States. It remains a challenging disease to treat given that many men do not benefit from immediate treatment, either due to slow-progressing disease or competing risks. This uncertainty about whether and when to treat has resulted in considerable variation in the management of prostate cancer, which we have shown to be driven by non-clinical factors such as financial incentives. Fee-for- service payment models provide incentives for utilization, but this may not always lead to benefits for patients, and in some instances can be harmful. Therefore, designing payment models that advance high-value healthcare by promoting both quality and reduced spending is critical. The Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) in fee-for-service Medicare, introduced as part of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act, is a payment model that aims to improve the value of care by tracking quality measures and monitoring spending. Understanding how motivations to reduce spending implied by the MIPS policy affect quality and access to prostate cancer care is crucial. As Medicare annually escalates the weight of the spending component, spending is becoming increasingly important in determining success within the program. However, incentives to reduce spending may not always align with quality care. Additionally, incentives to reduce spending may have unintended consequences. For example, physicians may be influenced to avoid vulnerable populations, who are associated with the highest cost of care and worse cancer outcomes, in order to improve their performance within the program. In light of this, understanding the impact of the policy on quality of care and access for vulnerable populations is crucial. Using national Medicare claims data linked to physician quality reporting files, we will identify the impact of MIPS on quality and access to prostate cancer care utilizing methods adopted from econometrics. We will specifically assess the policy’s impact on access to care for Medicare’s most vulnerable population, dual eligible beneficiaries. The results of our study will enhance our understanding of how MIPS may influence care for men with prostate cancer and whether it promotes inequities in the delivery of care. The findings from this study will directly inform policymakers of potential gaps within the program so the policy may be improved in future iterations to enhance patient care.

项目摘要前列腺癌是美国男性癌症死亡的第二大原因。它仍然是一个具有挑战性的疾病治疗，因为许多男子没有受益于立即治疗，无论是由于进展缓慢的疾病或竞争的风险。这种不确定性是否以及何时治疗已经导致前列腺癌管理的相当大的变化，我们已经证明这是由非临床因素如经济激励驱动的。收费- 服务付费模式提供了使用的激励，但这并不总是会带来好处，患者，在某些情况下可能是有害的。因此，设计支付模式，通过提高质量和减少支出来提高高价值医疗保健至关重要。按服务收费医疗保险中的绩效激励支付系统（MIPS），作为医疗保险访问和芯片再授权法案，是一种支付模式，旨在改善通过跟踪质量措施和监测支出来评估护理的价值。了解动机如何减少支出暗示的MIPS政策影响质量和获得前列腺癌护理是至关重要的.随着医疗保险每年增加支出部分的权重，在决定项目的成功方面变得越来越重要。然而，鼓励减少开支可能并不总是与高质量的护理相一致。此外，减少支出的激励措施可能会产生意想不到的后果。例如，医生可能会受到影响，弱势群体，他们与最高的护理成本和更严重的癌症有关以提高其在项目中的表现。鉴于此，理解该政策对护理质量和弱势群体获得护理的机会的影响至关重要。使用与医生质量报告文件相关的国家医疗保险索赔数据，我们将确定 MIPS对前列腺癌护理质量和可及性的影响，计量经济学我们将具体评估该政策对医疗保险最受欢迎人群获得医疗服务的影响。弱势群体，双重合格受益人。我们的研究结果将提高我们的了解MIPS如何影响前列腺癌患者的护理，以及它是否促进了医疗服务的不公平。这项研究的结果将直接告知政策制定者了解计划中的潜在差距，以便在未来的迭代中改进政策以加强病人护理。
