The PROMETHEUS Payment® model is a work in progress.
The publications on this page describe many facets of the
program's design. We refine our thinking as we work through
the practicalities of using the model in the real world.
The two most significant changes to date are the list of
conditions which are being modeled into the ECR Starter set,
and the application of Potentially Avoidable Complication
(PAC) Pools to construct the payment rates. In the early
years of PROMETHEUS Payment® implementation, these
PAC Pools will fund the withholds instead of the Performance
Contingency Funds, which we will use when the PAC Pools
dwindle. The ECR Starter set conditions include chronic conditions:
(1) diabetes; (2) congestive heart failure; (3) COPD; (4)
asthma; (5) coronary artery disease; and (6) hypertension.
Acute conditions, include (1)AMI; (2) hip and knee replacements;
(3) CABG; (4) coronary revascularization heart cath; (5)
bariatric surgery and (6) hernias.
We suggest you read "Making
PROMETHEUS Payment® Rates
Real " for an explanation of these changes. The rest of the program
remains as described in the other publications.
