ABSTRACT
Episode-based payment bundles a single lumped payment around a health care event, such as ischemic stroke. Hospitals are already experienced with a type of episode-based payment for stroke, the diagnosis-related group payment system. Ischemic stroke fits well into an episode-based system because (1) ischemic stroke is common, (2) an ischemic stroke care episode lasts for a definable period of time, and (3) ischemic stroke care costs are high and episode-based payment could provide savings. In an episode-based ischemic stroke care payment system built around cost savings, it is unclear whether neurologists would provide savings. Neurologists need to prove, and define, the value they bring to ischemic stroke care.
