Claim One:
1. A non-transitory software based algorithmic medium usable with a processor driven device for incentivizing service providers, comprising: a first subroutine for assembling a best practices model in the form of a database interfacing with the processor device and which presents series of treatment options ranging from desirable to undesirable associated with a given type of service; a second subroutine providing a decision support system interfacing with the best practices database and processor device, the support system providing any of a grading or awarding system for scoring, in real time, performance metrics for each of any number of providers of the service; a third subroutine for outputting to a plurality of subset processor devices assigned to each of the providers, real time and continuously updated scoring of their performance metrics based upon the grading/awarding system and as a result of the treatment options selected and inputted by the providers; and a fourth subroutine for incentivizing adherence by the providers to the best practices model by tying desirable performance metrics to financial incentives which are scaled to each treatment option.
