About HCI3

Improving health care quality and value with evidence-based incentive programs and a fair and powerful model for payment reform.

HCI3 is a non-profit organization, guided by a Board of Directors that includes physicians, employers, health plans, and others. We have created a broad range of programs to:

  • Measure outcomes
  • Reduce care defects
  • Promote a team approach to caring for patients
  • Realign payment incentives around quality, and
  • Reward excellence wherever we find it.

We've implemented our programs in communities across the country, working collaboratively with clinicians, hospitals, employers, health plans and others, through our two brands.

Bridges to Excellence® (BTE): A family of programs to reward Recognized physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants who meet certain performance measures.

PROMETHEUS Payment®: A compensation approach, based on medical episodes of care, that provides a fair and realistic blueprint for true payment reform.
