ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called the Primary Care Clinical Excellence (PCCE) Incentive Plan, is being conducted by UCLA Health to improve the quality of primary care services. The goal is to understand what motivates doctors to provide the best care possible, using a performance-based incentive program. This means that doctors will be encouraged to improve their care quality based on specific goals and feedback. The study is a collaboration between the UCLA Health Department of Medicine and the UCLA Anderson School of Management, focusing on how to effectively share information about these quality improvement efforts.

To participate in the trial, doctors must be part of the UCLA Health primary care network and work a minimum of 40% of their time in a clinical role, managing at least 50 patients. However, pediatricians and urgent care physicians are not eligible to participate due to different care guidelines. If doctors join this trial, they can expect to receive feedback on their performance and contribute to a program that aims to enhance primary health care for everyone. This initiative is an important step towards making primary care more effective and patient-centered.
