BEYOND P4P: PROMETHEUS™ PAYMENT

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. This audio-conference will highlight what it is, how it works, and the benefits to providers, plans and patients. 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.
