Massachusetts Health Quality Partners (MHQP) has released its annual Quality Insights report, which found that Massachusetts primary care physicians continue to provide high-quality care, though variation in the quality of care delivered by medical groups in Massachusetts remains, according to a press release.
Since 2006, Massachusetts has been publicly reporting the results of a patient experience survey where patients assess the care that they received in primary care physician offices. A study by the RAND Corporation, published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine has found that physician groups’ use of this data varies greatly.
