McKesson pairs with HCI3 on bundled payments software

Editorial Staff | | Health Exec | Economics

McKesson and the Health Care Incentives Improvement Institute (HCI3) have entered an agreement to combine the McKesson Episode Management software with HCI3’s Prometheus Payment model.

The Newton, Mass.-based health IT vendor believes its McKesson Episode Management product, a software application that automates bundled payment programs, will benefit from the Prometheus Payment model, a set of episode definitions and reimbursement logic to determine patient-specific budgets according to established guidelines for treating conditions from beginning to end.

HCI3, a Newton, Conn.-based nonprofit working toward value- and evidence-based payment reform, launched Prometheus Payment in 2006 with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
