For 11 consecutive years, reports like this one have found that the prices providers (hospitals, physicians, etc.) charge are the main factor driving Massachusetts’ high health care costs. While we value our hospitals and our health care institutions, it’s worth asking – what are we as taxpayers paying for, and at what cost? Individuals on Medicaid (taxpayer-funded) pay minimal to zero costs (~1/3 of the state’s population) and Medicare (taxpayer-funded) cost share is graduated based on income. But, for people with private health insurance (employer-sponsored health insurance, like Wellpoint members) health care premiums and out-of-pocket costs are taking up a significant –and growing– part of their income- between 20% to 40%. Perhaps it’s time to re-evaluate how taxpayer funds are being used to support health care and work with policymakers to reform reimbursements as means to help people stay healthy and out of hospitals.  In the meantime, below are some steps people can take to start understanding health care costs and stay healthy:   1. Think health, not sick care: eat healthy, exercise regularly, and stay active every day; 2. Take control of your health. Partner with your primary care team and be sure to get recommended preventive care and screenings; 3. Use primary care, urgent care, and community health centers for non-emergent care. These locations are the lower cost alternatives; 4. Understand how using hospitals and emergency rooms for primary care and routine services affects your premiums and out-of-pocket costs. #healthnotsickcare #health #wellbeing #finance #healthcare #value #employer #insurance #healthinsurance #affordability #transparency #incentiveswork https://lnkd.in/dV9SMPFU

Artificial intelligence (AI) investments can provide significant ROI for healthcare organizations. Ever-rising costs, declining payment, razor-thin operating margins, and an uncertain regulatory environment are major issues that confound the healthcare industry and keep hospital CFOs up at night. Sustaining margins becomes increasingly difficult as the industry moves toward value-based payment and focuses on improving efficiency and reducing cost without adversely affecting the quality of care. AI allows healthcare executives to achieve their goals by leveraging innovative technology. Historically, health systems looked to the CFO to ensure the accuracy of hospital financials. Today, with the increased electronic data, CFOs are consulted to advise other leaders as they map out the organization’s strategic future. To meet modern expectations, health systems must operate more efficiently and analyze data from across the revenue cycle. Four characteristics of AI enable it to accomplish both objectives. 1. It is highly efficient and effective. 2. It offers data-driven insights. 3. It enables CFOs to make informed decisions. 4. It helps healthcare leaders monitor performance. Top 10 AI Strategies for Healthcare Leaders - Healthcare leaders developing their AI strategies should consider the following steps. • Test the waters. • Upgrade the organization’s data sources. • Create a robust data management strategy. • Select an AI tool with data-driven decision-making capability. • Collaborate wisely. • Tackle budget issues. • Obtain internal buy-in. • Institutionalize the AI readiness. • Prioritize talent acquisition. • Invest in cloud-based AI technology over traditional on-premise AI systems. AI is an enabler; it helps unlock the human potential for excellence. Leaders and professionals who recognize the importance of AI and data analytics will perform much better than those who don’t. #HealthcareAI #RevenueCycleManagement #HealthcareLeaders #AGSHealth

Leaders should take their teams on the strategic journey

"Rather than fully replacing human CEOs, AI is poised to augment leadership by enhancing data analysis and operational efficiency, leaving humans to focus on long-term vision, ethics, and adaptability in dynamic markets. The future of leadership will likely be a hybrid model where AI complements human decision-making." Thanks for the share Judy Slatyer. Definitely fascinating

Meaningful connections between healthcare providers and beneficiaries are the cornerstone of exceptional care. Effective communication builds trust and understanding, ensuring patients feel connected and valued. Education empowers patients to make informed decisions about their health, leading to better outcomes. And when providers prioritize these connections, it boosts patient retention by fostering loyalty and satisfaction. Let's continue to nurture these relationships for healthier communities! I welcome discussions about PatientPoint and how our service is being used by our #VeteransAdministration customers and making a difference in #VHA facilities across the country. Let's talk. #DHA #VA

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

The Business of Primary Care has an excellent series on #carecoordination for #valuebasedcare done by Jonathan Hart, MD MBA and Katila Farley, RN, CMOM. There are many good points. I'd like to personalize the comment about closed-loop referrals. Recently, I needed a DME device replaced. In my first attempt, my PCP's office and the DME provider delivered typical care. For three months, they did not talk to me, did not talk to each other, and traded faxes when I left messages to check on the status of the procurement. The result? They both wasted tons of time talking to me trying to coordinate my own care, without success because my option was leaving at least weekly voicemails. They NEVER ONCE talked to each other and I was no closer to getting a replacement device. I fired the DME vendor (I would have liked to have fired the PCP but I needed them to get the data needed for the replacement device. Their replacement will come soon). I then contacted US Med. In 10 days I went from initial contact to receiving my device. I was able to track their progress electronically and they (gasp!) called me and my PCP to work through the issues needed to fulfill the referral. How many people would give up and not continue to poke the healthcare bear until they achieved success? We need to rethink what is conveniently called patient noncompliance and change the way we interact with patients. This is what I want: 1. I want my PCP's office to ensure that their referrals are followed through and help make that happen. My experience is that the fax fiasco is more of a problem than my insurance carrier prior auth. 2. I want healthcare to eliminate faxes. The money my PCP wasted addressing my weekly phone calls because the fax never arrived could have made a nice dent in paying for 21st-century communication technology. 3. I want my healthcare providers to TALK TO EACH OTHER. I'd love this to be by secure messaging and include me. How many of you have had similar experiences? Please share. #valuebasedcare #primarycare #patientengagement #patientexperiance #carecoordination #closedloopreferrals https://lnkd.in/gdbPb8iU
