To choose a personal doctor, patients want to know “who’s good?” The California Physician Performance Initiative (CPPI) compiles data on how well California doctors perform a set of evidence-based practices for the patients they see – like checking cholesterol, ordering mammograms, and tracking diabetes. Some health plans, like Blue Shield of California, use the CPPI scores to publish physician ‘blue ribbons’ that designate the highest performing doctors on its member website to help members choose physicians.
