SAN MATEO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Hawaii Independent Physicians Association (Hawaii IPA) is working with Cave Consulting Group, Inc. (CCGroup) to access accurate and reliable physician efficiency (cost-of-care) and effectiveness (quality process of care) scores. “A main reason is that Hawaii IPA accepts capitation payment for Medicare Advantage patients. Therefore, we need to identify and reduce practice variations to improve quality and cost of care to successfully live within a global budget,” stated Dr. Richard Chung, Chief Medical Strategist for Hawaii IPA.
