  "There are (at least) two versions of the bundled payment concept, a single payment for an entire episode of care for a patient and the old capitation model, where there is a single payment for that plan member regardless of whether he or she received care. Both require population risk stratification incorporating multiple kinds of sensitivity analysis (health status, severity of illness and case mix adjustment). Around 2000, the one-size-fits-all approach of the capitation model was found to be virtually unworkable for providers, since they lacked the tools and skills to do the PM necessary to understand the financial risk they were about to assume. Hopefully, now this won’t be the case. The other payment innovation, a single payment for an entire episode of care for a patient, is going to need both population risk stratification and clinical decision-support predictive modeling.” Lawrence S. Borok, President, Vantage Point Healthcare Information Systems.
