The role of accountable care organization affiliation and ownership in promoting physician practice participation in quality improvement collaboratives.
The goal of this study was to examine organizational influences on physician practices' propensity to participate in quality improvement collaboratives (QICs). Using data from the third wave of the National Study of Physician Organizations, findings showed that 13.6% of practices surveyed participated in a QIC. ACO affiliation, CHC ownership, larger practice size, and health information technology functionality were positively associated with QIC participation. Practice use of QI methods partially mediated the association of ACO affiliation with QIC participation.
