Abstract
Outcome-based performance measurement and prospective payment are common features of the current managed care environment. Increasingly, primary care clinicians and health care organizations are being asked to assume financial risk for enrolled patients based on negotiated capitation rates. Therefore, the need for methods to account for differences in risk among patients enrolled in primary care organizations has become critical.Keywords
