PROSUMER HEALTH

Prosumer Health helps you manage your health and health care by giving you individualized tools and guidance... Individuals are able manage most of their health and healthcare needs becoming a prosumer: provider and consumer of their own health and care... We are proposing a new approach that addresses many of the factors that are still holding providers back from adopting VBP systems. This new approach is basically an extension of the CareMore approach and of other systems that others have proposed in the past. One of the big obstacles for providers to move to VBP systems is a fear of change, of the unknown and of the possibility that they will lose money. These fears are in turn related to the reality that they do not have their own models/systems for improving the health of their patients and thus reducing their use of traditional healthcare services and associated costs. As a result, they are reluctant to enter into an agreement with payors that would require them to assume risk..
