MINNEAPOLIS -- UCare hosted its inaugural provider recognition event May 13 to recognize outstanding performances by Minnesota clinics and care systems that participated in UCare's Pay for Performance Program (P4P).
Among the providers recognized at UCare's "Salute to Excellence!" event were Steve Hartberg, M.D., and office manager Karen Hartberg of Hartberg Medical Clinic. This solo, private family practice clinic in Windom was recognized by UCare's P4P program for Medicaid Overall Performance Quality of Care.
The Hartbergs joined UCare's management and representatives from other provider groups at the University of Minnesota's McNamara Alumni Center. At the gathering, UCare recognized top-performing health care professionals and organizations providing health care to members of UCare's Medicare programs and Minnesota Health Care Programs (MCHP), such as MinnesotaCare and Prepaid Medical Assistance Program (PMAP).
"We are delighted to honor these health care providers, who worked so hard on behalf of UCare members in Minnesota" said Nancy Feldman, president and CEO, UCare. "We designed our Pay for Performance Program to reward clinics and care systems of all sizes that achieve measurable improvements in key quality-of-health measurements. We are very pleased to honor the Hartberg Medical Clinic for its fine performance in 2008."
