Profile
Dr. Mehrotra joined the faculty of the University of Pittsburgh in 2006. His research focuses on the measurement and public reporting of health care quality and efficiency, pay-for-performance incentives, and consumer-directed health care. In previous work, he evaluated the use of report cards created by employer coalitions and the impact of pay-for-performance incentives on Massachusetts physician groups. Since joining the faculty, he has obtained a K12 career development award that assesses several aspects of consumer-directed health care. This work evaluates how the quality and efficiency of individual physicians can be measured, explores how consumers can use this information in choosing a physician, and analyzes why patients choose to receive care at a retail clinic instead of a primary care practice.
