Evidence-Informed Case Rates®, or ECRs®, are patient-specific, severity-adjusted bundles of services during a defined time period for the treatment of specific conditions. ECR® methodology was developed by the Prometheus Payment design team and is the property of the Health Care Incentives Improvement Institute, Inc (www.hci3.org) a nonprofit organization devoted to improving healthcare quality by creating and implementing programs that deliver positive financial incentives for providers that deliver high value care.
