In a recent article on Digital Health Insights, author Jennifer Bresnick discusses how CMS is lighting a fire under payers to compete on value with 1upHealth's CSO Donald Rucker. Topics include the power of modern data standards (i.e., FHIR) and CMS-mandated APIs to provide transparency around outcomes and cost (i.e., value). 🔥 Don says in part, “FHIR creates the ability to bring financial and clinical data together in a meaningful way so that we can finally draw back the veil on why we spend the most but have some of the worst outcomes in the world. We can begin to codify and compute our definitions of value – and start to compete on that value. You can choose to be threatened by that, or you can choose to make it work for you. The organizations that are going to survive are the ones that pick the latter.” 📰 Read the full article to learn more.  https://lnkd.in/eaYdEqBr #fhir #cmsapis #value
