"cost differential" programs, employers or payers offer patients reduced
copayments or deductibles for visits to providers who meet quality measures,
such as achieving certain outcomes with IT. "Direct reimbursement" offers
payments to providers for new types of care, such as online consultations
between patients and providers. Another program, "shared withholds," withholds an amount of reimbursement or delays rate increases until a provider meets IT implementation targets or quality goals through the use of technology. Adobe PDF
