The Proof is in the Programs

Anthem Maine's Quality Hospital Improvement Program -- QHIP -- works to improve the quality of hospital care our members receive. Hospitals are rewarded for instituting programs and adopting technologies that result in better patient outcomes, reduced errors and higher member satisfaction. This voluntary program currently has sixteen Maine hospitals participating. Anthem Maine's Primary Care Pay for Performance Program encourages providers to improve the quality of care our members receive. Using a framework similar to the QHIP program, providers are rewarded for implementing illness registries for members with chronic disease and for installing electronic medical records in their offices. Approximately 97% of Maine's Primary Care Providers are participating in this program
