An ECR includes all covered services for a particular illness or procedure. The tools are designed to be used as an aid in creating a bundled payment model, use in accountable care payment programs, reference-pricing initiatives and analysis of provider cost and quality.
“Our goal is to develop enough ECRs to cover 80 percent of costs of care by 2015,” said HCI3 executive director Francois de Brantes.
The 80 ECRs are available for public use at no cost.
