To identify positive deviant () physician organizations of Accountable Care Organizations (s) with robust performance management systems ().
Third National Survey of Physician Organizations (3, = 1,398).
Organizational and external factors from 3 were analyzed.
Data Collection/Extraction Methods
Linear regression estimated the association of internal and contextual factors on . Two cutpoints (75th/90th percentiles) identified s with the largest residuals and highest scores.
A total of 65 and 41 s were identified using 75th and 90th percentiles cutpoints, respectively. The 90th percentile more strongly differentiated s from non‐s. Having a high proportion of vulnerable patients appears to constrain development.
Our identification method increases the likelihood that organizations selected for in‐depth inquiry are high‐performing organizations that exceed expectations.
