5th Annual
Pay for Performance Awards:
Facey Named Top Performer
in L.A. County

OAKLAND, Calif., Oct. 5, 2006 /PRNewswire/ – California's top performing physician groups were identified today by the Integrated Healthcare Association (IHA) and recognized for high performance on important health care quality measures, including preventive care and chronic care management, patient satisfaction, and use of information technology to support patient management and care.

Of 228 physician groups participating in IHA's Pay for Performance (P4P) program, those that scored in the top 20 percent overall were selected for the honor, and included 46 top performers in eight regions, comprising 17 northern and 29 southern California groups.  Facey was among this select group!

This recognition is a true honor which would not be possible without the concerted, dedicated, coordinated and interdisciplinary efforts made by all physicians, nurse practitioners, educators, decision support and information technology personnel, all those who participate in the P4P clinical focus group, as well as the others.

Facey is proud of this accomplishment but be aware that we need to continue to strive to improve, not only because it is a competitive field of medical groups with whom we compete, but it is our patients who ultimately derive the greatest benefits.
