This dissertation aims to explore the performance of health provider participation inthe Medicare Quality Payment Program by investigating the relationship among the performance metrics of value and quality and the capacities of geography, technology, finance, and administration. There is a theory-practice gap in the research that examines the impact of these capacities on the value and quality of clinical services delivered by healthcare providers participating in the Medicare Quality Payment Program. The study will address this theory-practice gap by applying the capacity-performance paradigm to better understand the influences of geographical, technological, financial, and administrative capacity have on the performance of value and quality metrics of healthcare providers engaging in the Medicare Quality Payment Program. This study also provides prudent findings that demonstrate the impact of the capacities on the performance of value and quality among healthcare providers which can influence programmatic policy reforms by policymakers who are overseeing the Quality Payment Program. This study utilizes the CMS 2021 QPP Experience dataset which contains the performance outcome metrics of value and quality among healthcare providers participating in the program. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression is employed to examine the relationship among the capacities of geography, technology, finance, and administration and the performance providers. The findings of this study show a significant relationship between these capacities and the performance outcome metrics of value and quality among healthcare providers participating in the Medicare Quality Payment Program.
