Pilot Implementation
Pilot implementations are being undertaken in different parts
of the country to test the validity of the Evidence-informed
Case Rate® models as a means to fairly and equitably price the
care of patients and encourage physicians, hospitals and all
other clinicians to actively collaborate in delivering effective
and efficient care to each patient. For a pilot site to be launched,
we need the active participation of at least one payer and the
active participation of at least one provider organization. Ideal
pilot sites include multiple provider organizations as one of
the objectives of Prometheus is to encourage physicians and hospitals
to work together around the care of a patient, irrespective of
current organizational constraints. The following links provide
more information on implementing Prometheus.
