Communities of eligible providers are required to work together to develop DSRIP Project Plans.
PERFORMING PROVIDER SYSTEMS (PPS): Local Partnerships to Transform the Delivery System Partners should include: Hospitals Health Homes Skilled Nursing Facilities Clinics & FQHCs Behavioral Health Providers Home Care Agencies Community Based Organizations Practitioners and Other Key Stakeholders Responsibilities must include: Community health care needs assessment based on multi-stakeholder input and objective data.

Statewide Performance and Accountability o Beginning in Year 3, limits on funding available and provider incentive payments may be subject to reductions based on statewide performance. o Statewide performance will be assessed on a pass or fail basis for a set of four milestones. o The state must pass all four milestones to avoid DSRIP reductions. o If penalties are applied, CMS requires the state to reduce funds in an equal distribution, across all DSRIP projects.
DSRIP Finance Framework
May 2015 3 DSRIP Performance Milestones P4P Annual improvement targets will use a methodology of reducing the gap to the goal by 10%. Example - If the baseline data for a measure is 52 percent and the goal is 90 percent, the gap to the goal is 38 percent. The target for the project s first year of performance would be 3.8 percent increase in the result (target 55.8 percent). Each subsequent year s baseline would be re-set with a target using the most recent year s data. Performing Provider Systems may receive less than their maximum allocation if they do not meet metrics and/or if DSRIP funding is reduced because of the statewide penalty. High performance fund/awards for being above the statewide goal, or closing the gap to goal by 20%
