Pay for Performance is a positive development in the movement to align payment with quality goals. It is generally agreed, however, that P4P is transitional at best. What's next? PROMETHEUS™ Payment is a new model designed to improve quality, pay fairly, lower administrative burden, enhance transparency and be sustainable.

In this preconference, members of the PROMETHEUS™ Payment Design Team will explain what it is, how it works, and the benefits to providers, plans and patients. In addition, there will be an explanation of how payment rates are being constructed, anchored on the science in clinical practice guidelines. The team will also present how the scorecard, which determines the total payment, will include metrics that get us beyond P4P.

Although much will be learned from PROMETHEUS™ pilot projects, what this new model motivates ought to be going on already. Learn how positioning for PROMETHEUS™ can help you today, whether you are a plan, provider, physician group or other player in the health care system.
