Update to MA 2025 Final release ( more details are still required). The final (4/23/24) introduces changes to the regulations concerning agents, brokers, and Third-Party Marketing Organizations (TPMOs) in several areas: Unified Compensation Framework: The new regulations implement a unified compensation structure for agents and brokers across all plans. A single compensation rate is set for all plans, updated annually, which also includes a revision of the scope of items and services within agent and broker compensation. Separate payments for administrative services by agents and brokers are eliminated (administrative is defined but more details coming). Oversight and Compliance: Enhanced oversight measures are introduced to ensure that agents, brokers, and TPMOs (includes FMO’s) comply with the updated compensation structures and marketing rules. TPMO Marketing and Data Privacy: TPMOs are now subject to stricter marketing and communication rules. The final rule prohibits TPMOs from selling or sharing personal beneficiary data collected during marketing activities without explicit beneficiary consent. A new one-to-one consent structure is required, where TPMOs must obtain explicit consent from the beneficiary for each TPMO that will receive their data, ensuring more transparent and controlled use of beneficiary information. Prohibitions on Overrides: The regulations explicitly prohibit compensation structures that include additional payments known as "overrides" for TPMOs, which could influence the marketing and enrollment practices in favor of higher-paying plans. As we all know this will need further evaluation but recordings; trainings; portals etc will all be included in the total capped enrollment comp. #MAfinal2025 #medicareadvantage

Here's a great article by Ashley Hettermann talking about the future of healthcare and specifically RPM. When looking for different companies to partner with, don't only look at where they are today, but also look at where they're going. Do they have financial stability? Are they going to be around long term to support you, your business and your patients? Are they skating toward where the puck is going or are they only going to where it is today? Direct Supply's main campus shows you how we can help you today through a trusted and reliable products supply chain of DME, respiratory, furnishings, etc., which you'll see going through our large showroom which thousands of customers visit every year. We also highlight our technology in spend management, building management, asset management, EMR integrations, etc. Our Innovation and Technology Center in the middle of Milwaukee School of Engineering's campus shows you where we're going. We've vetted over 4,000 healthcare startups and showcase cutting edge technology that is coming to the market. Not many companies have the size, scale, stability and forward thinking that Direct Supply does so ask yourself, "who should we partner with?" #DME #RPM #longtermpartnerships #Homecare #DirectSupply

Thank you, Healthcare Innovation for featuring how health systems are optimizing their clinical workflows and focusing on AI with ROI. Concord Hospital Health System in New Hampshire deployed Wellsheet’s AI-powered platform, achieving millions of dollars in ROI and impacting mobile chart reviews, real-time notifications, and care team collaboration. Wellsheet integrates with existing EHRs using FHIR API standards to present relevant information in a streamlined view for clinicians. This approach has helped Concord Hospital reduce patient length of stay by a day, demonstrating the platform's effectiveness in improving workflow and discharge planning. Christopher Fore MD, MHCDS, Chief Quality Officer at Concord Hospital, shared, “Being in the hospital is expensive and sometimes not even the best place to be if you don't need to be there. So we've been working really hard due to issues of capacity constraints and access for the community to try to reduce the length of stay, like many health systems, and we've actually achieved a length-of-stay reduction of about a day in the last year. We've gone from 5.5 to 4.5 days in a year, which is remarkable.” 📖 https://lnkd.in/dHj-gEby #healthcareinnovation #ehr #digitalhealth #machinelearning #ai

Many hospitals could increase patient access, throughput, and revenue simply by making more effective use of existing clinic and exam room space. But the reality is that many hospitals aren't adopting this strategy because most lack accurate visibility into exam room utilization. But tech can help: - Centralized visibility provides real-time insight into room usage and availability - Seamless system integration aligns providers, patients, and space - Powerful analytics uncover opportunities to maximize room utilization Learn more about #ClinicalSpaceUtilization and #RoomManagement on our blog: https://lnkd.in/eqYXfggQ

Most medtech companies know that they need to be measuring their marketing efforts to determine effectiveness, but with all of the things you can track, it's hard to know where to start. Here, analytics specialist Kyle Akerman explains how he assesses what businesses are currently doing to help inform their analytics strategy going forward. Kyle joined us on our latest episode of The Health Connective Show to discuss how medtech companies can plan their analytics strategy. An initial planning phase is essential for businesses looking to improve their tracking because it helps to identify what needs to be tracked, and how to align analytics data with business goals. If you'd like to hear more of Kyle's advice, you can find the link to the episode in the comments ⬇

Step-by-Step Approach to Implementing FHIR for Improved Healthcare Data Exchange In today's healthcare landscape, seamless data exchange between disparate systems is crucial for improved patient care coordination, treatment planning, and population health management. Yet, many healthcare organizations struggle with data silos and incompatible formats hindering data flow. This is where FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) comes in. FHIR is a standardized language that streamlines healthcare data exchange, allowing different electronic health record (EHR) systems and healthcare applications to communicate effectively. 1. Planning and Scoping: Assess current data exchange challenges. Define FHIR implementation goals. Identify data sets for interoperability and systems to connect. 2. Mapping Existing Data to FHIR Resources: Analyze current data architecture. Map data elements to FHIR resources (e.g., allergies, medications). Ensure consistency across systems. 3. Selecting and Customizing FHIR Resources: Choose relevant FHIR resources. Customize or create profiles as needed. 4. Testing, Validation, and Compliance: Conduct rigorous testing for data exchange. Validate data and ensure compliance with FHIR standards. 5. Ongoing Management and Optimization: Monitor and optimize FHIR environment. Adapt resources to evolving needs. Stay updated with FHIR standards and best practices. Ready to streamline your healthcare data?
