Keep our rurals open but if you really want to help get the foreign equity owned GPO that sets the pricing for our hospitals BANNED from our state. Economies of scale are used by Vizient against Oklahoma rural hospitals. If you have 13 tiers, hidden tiers, and tier maxes…that’s not a contract, that a free for all nightmare of a scam we all fell for. Their awful written tiered agreements force our rurals to pay more for the exact same items that our large hospitals pay less for. Example box of gloves a large hospital system in the state will pay 6-8 bucks for a box of 250 exam gloves. That same box for a rural EMT? 24 bucks. There is no price transparency and you are forcing patients who live in rural areas to pay more because of the lack of infrastructure by the corporations serving them to effectively and economically get goods and services to these hospitals. And distributors who whine about the cost of delivering to rural hospitals all while posting BILLIONS in profit every quarter are the first on my 💩 list. Let’s keep our rurals open but let’s make them more profitable so that they can continue to add much needed services and gainfully employ more community members.

💡 Did you know? Post-acute care operators with low hospitalization rates save health plans tens of thousands of dollars—with the average cost of a single inpatient hospitalization ranging from $15K to $20K. Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), these savings are required to be reinvested in care improvements or gain-shared with providers. That means if you’re helping reduce hospitalizations, you could be eligible for a share of those dollars. [Read more about these ACA provisions here: https://lnkd.in/geHxR7nc - Is your ACO or Special Needs Plan sharing the savings you’ve worked hard to create? - Do you know how much potential revenue is being left on the table? 📞 Our team at PointClickCare is here to help you find out! Schedule a review with your Customer Success Manager to uncover your potential gain-sharing opportunities. And if you’re not using PointClickCare today—don’t worry, we’re still here to help. You can contact me or my team directly to explore how to maximize your value-based care potential. 💬 Let’s start the conversation.

Really interesting article. ASC operations are proving crucial for the successful adoption of value-based payment systems and evolving healthcare as we know it. Strong operational foundations inherently lead to economic success and greater flexibility in adopting new care models, which in turn improves patient outcomes. #ASCs #Healthcare #PatientCare

In healthcare, value comes from having choices. A GPO that limits your options isn't a true partner. Flexibility in procurement is key to finding the best solutions for patient care and operational efficiency. Ensure your GPO supports your needs and goals. Don't settle for restrictions—demand a partnership that prioritizes your success. Learn how your health system can supplement its supply chain with value-added partnerships and non-exclusive contracts. https://lnkd.in/deiYRgfE #HealthcareProcurement #GPO #HealthcareInnovation

Nearly all Medicaid health plans participate in #ValueBasedCare initiatives, but just over half of those plans cite there are still barriers to adopting the model according to the Institute for Medicaid Innovation’s annual managed care survey. Survey findings noted the following challenges in implementing value-based care models: ✅ Provider readiness or willingness 🧑‍⚕️ Staff capacity 📊 Lack of sufficient/complete data 💻 Information technology system preparedness With the right resources and education, value-based care can have a positive impact on quality of care and patient outcomes. However, we must equip providers with the #data, infrastructure and talent to support value-based models. I’m encouraged by the opportunity these findings present to continue building awareness, and I’m hopeful we can continue to find ways to ease the transition from the fee-for-service model.

🚨 CMS Finalizes New Mandatory Payment Model for Acute Care Hospitals! In the 2024 IPPS Final Rule, CMS introduced the Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM), a mandatory 5-year alternative payment model starting in January 2026. TEAM builds on previous episode-based models like Bundled Payments for Care Improvement Advanced and Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement, focusing on key procedures such as: Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Lower Extremity Joint Replacement (LEJR) Major Bowel Procedures Spinal Fusion TEAM also satisfies the Advanced APM requirements for the Quality Payment Program (QPP). Hospitals in 188 regions, including Bowling Green, Lexington, Corbin, and Middlesboro in Kentucky, will be required to participate. This episode-based model includes quality measures related to hospital readmissions, patient safety, and health equity initiatives, alongside key beneficiary incentives like telehealth services and waived IP stay requirements for skilled nursing care. 📅 Starting January 2026, TEAM will transform how hospitals approach value-based care, offering three risk-sharing tracks and annual payment reconciliations. Stay tuned to Kentucky REC for further updates and how this impacts your organization!

Andrea Corona, Managing Director of Care Operations at Tegria, attended the Becker's Healthcare Annual Meeting last week. Here are some of the key themes and topics she picked up on while there 👇 ▶Addressing the interconnected challenges of #providerburnout and workforce shortages necessitates strategic investment in an organizational culture anchored in trust and a deliberate focus on workload optimization aligned with professional expertise.   ▶An aging demographic, a shrinking workforce, and shifting patient preferences require strategic care model #transformation. It's not enough to make incremental changes; bold, transformative strategies are required.   ▶Marginalizing #valuebasedcare within an organizational strategy poses the risk of compromising patient outcomes, financial sustainability, and overall system resilience. Value-based care requires cross-departmental engagement and alignment with a defined strategy.
