Changes in performance for prescribing all essential medications to all eligible patients in physicians' individual panels. Performance for each physician in the practice as of February 2009 (the end of phase 1) is shown by (a) the solid black bar alone, or (b) the combined solid black bar plus the stacked open white bar. Physicians are ordered from lowest to highest performance as of February 2009. If performance decreased between February 2009 and February 2010, this decline is indicated by the open white bar, so the performance for these physicians at the end of February 2010 (the end of phase 2) is the top of the solid black bar. If performance increased, this is indicated with a gray bar above the black bar so that the performance at the end of February 2010 is at the top of the gray bar.
