To model ECRs in a way that would be credible, realistic, and accurately reflect the clinical delivery of care, Prometheus gathered experts in the field and convened five working groups, consisting of medical professionals, health care researchers, and data modeling experts. The working groups looked at criteria like prevalence, costs, treatment variation, coordination, and reimbursement, among others. Then, they developed the scope of each ECR, by examining issues like the standard work-up required to diagnose the condition, the services covered by the ECR, and criteria for successful completion of care. To develop an estimate of the base ECR payment, the groups walked a typical patient step-by-step through the relevant clinical practice guidelines. The process of developing ECRs is evolving. We encourage and welcome comments and suggestions on how to improve the models presented herein. It is our intent to make this developmental effort open to all, fully transparent, and an evolving set of models that will benefit from the collective input of health care services researchers and experts from all over the world.
