Quality Management

Comprehensive, Proactive Quality Management

CDPHP maintains a comprehensive, proactive quality management program to ensure that our members receive high-quality, cost-effective care and service. The program monitors key indicators and helps highlight opportunities for improvement. To be successful, it requires the participation and support of the CDPHP board of directors, all staff members, and our network of participating physicians.

Members Surveyed About Their Doctors

CDPHP conducts an annual satisfaction survey. Members who had had recent contact with their primary care physicians (PCPs) were randomly selected for participation in the survey, and they were contacted either by mail or telephone. One of the survey questions asked members to rank their overall satisfaction with their PCP on a scale of 0 (worst) to 10 (best). Overall, members reported a very high level of satisfaction with our participating PCPs. The percentage of members giving their doctor a rating of 8, 9, or 10 was calculated for each physician.


Member PCP Satisfaction Survey Results

These ratings are only based on previous customer experiences, are subjective in nature, and should not be the sole basis for selecting a physician, and are not clinical in nature, based on medical data, or a measure of clinical performance. We encourage you to read the survey disclaimer and to talk to your physician before making any decisions based on these results.

 

Tell us what you think of the CDPHP Member PCP Satisfaction report. We invite you to complete a brief survey to help us improve.


Physician Recognition, Rewards and Reimbursement

CDPHP is committed to recognizing and rewarding physicians who deliver high-quality, efficient care. Read about our physician incentive programs and our recognition program for physicians who are highly rated by our members.


Physician Recognition and Rewards

CDPHP provides reimbursement to physicians and hospitals based on performance. If you would like information on what percentage of the overall reimbursement to our physicians or hospitals is based on performance, please contact us. We cannot provide information on individual physicians or hospitals.


Hospital Quality and Comparisons

CDPHP provides information to our members on hospital quality and patient safety to help members make informed decisions about where to receive care within our hospital network. All the information is submitted voluntarily. As always, we encourage you to discuss this information with your physician before making any decisions.
