Welcome to the PROMETHEUS Payment® Inc., Website
**Newsflash**
Formed in 2006 as a not-for-profit corporation
to steward the further design and implementation of work
over the previous two
years by our Design Team,
we invite you to our Publications page
to read about our new provider payment model which
offers a different approach to payment to include all providers
treating a patient for specified conditions. In addition
to many articles which highlight various aspects of the program, The
Legal Blueprint, in
particular, and the initial report to the Commonwealth Fund
on the development of Evidence-informed
Case Rates® (ECRs®)
will give you a solid foundation to understand our work.
You can learn about Our Mission, Our
Board and Our Core Tenets.
In response to comments over the last
two years regarding our work, we have developed a series of Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQs) and answers which distinguish
the PROMETHEUS Payment® model from other forms of payment
including capitation, fee-for-service and global surgery rates.
Our goals
are to demonstrate the viability of our approach to improve healthcare
quality, lower administrative burden, reduce unexplained clinical
variation, through the provision of science-based care, paid
for equitably and measured in a Scorecard --- with transparency
to all --- providers, patients, consumers, plans and purchasers.
We expect to launch Pilot Sites in early
2008. We will also be launching Learning Networks
for organizations
who may want to test on a more rapid-fire and limited basis some
of our ideas, and share them with other like-minded participants,
while they contribute financially to the support for our work.
We welcome inquiries and interest in our ongoing efforts. Please
feel free to contact us at info@prometheuspayment.org.
