Physician Performance Measurement Platform

Practicing Wisely Appropriateness of Care Measures provide a roadmap to high-value care

Compare your practice patterns to peers with Motive appropriateness measures.
Appropriateness Measures Visualizer

The U.S. currently spends more than $265 billion annually on unnecessary care. Treatments, tests, and services that — once measured, benchmarked, and analyzed — fall into the category of “potentially harmful, little chance of helping,” That’s simply too costly to sustain. And too wasteful to justify.

Motive’s appropriateness of care measures identify over-treatment and under-treatment with physician attribution and risk adjustment built into the logic. Furthermore, Motive has defined a range of better practice (ROBP) for each measure. These detailed metrics instantly illustrate the suitability of each medical procedure in any clinical process or situation. Our proprietary evidence-based and transparent Appropriate Practice Score (APS) is based on what doctors do and what payers pay. It tells doctors how their clinical decision-making compares to their peers.

Appropriateness, cost and quality

Our platform enables you to justify high-value care initiatives because we help you to determine:

Appropriateness: Should services have been provided?

Quality: What was the duration and intensity of appropriate services?

Cost & Efficiency: What is the value of the waste addressed by eliminating inappropriate services?
