Within the same physician groups, 2-sided risk in Medicare Advantage (MA) was associated with higher quality and lower utilization for dually eligible beneficiaries compared with fee-for-service MA and traditional Medicare.

Physician groups under 2-sided risk–based Medicare Advantage provide care associated with higher quality and efficiency compared with care by these same groups under fee-for-service Medicare.

Medicare beneficiaries treated by physicians with high levels of Medicare Advantage risk exposure had higher care quality and efficiency outcomes compared with those treated by other physicians.

In 1386 providers, better teamwork related to higher patient Net Promoter Score (NPS), and the relationship between provider experience and NPS was mediated by teamwork.

A 6-item teamwork measure with good construct validity correlated with favorable provider outcomes including work experience, burnout, and intent to stay with the organization.
