Medicaid in many ways is paving the way for value-based payments. Many states are taking innovative approaches and requiring MCO/provider participation in risk arrangements. As one of the largest VBP platforms operating in Medicaid, we get the privilege of aggerating these APMs to better enable provider success. Please come by our booth to see how we can help your provider network and health plan teams better operationalize and support VBP performance and growth.

In this podcast, Nick Stepro, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Arcadia, highlights the need for a shift from transactional patient histories to a more comprehensive, holistic approach. According to Stepro, by integrating diverse data sets, including social and economic factors, healthcare providers can develop a longitudinal view of a patient's health, enhancing care for individuals and communities alike. https://ow.ly/WBwA50RmbO2

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

As I've continued to reflect on the recent Nashville Health Care Council Data and AI event, I found myself considering the intersection of data interoperability and the need to leverage healthcare data in a compliant way for AI to truly live up to its promise. At Integral, where we focus on automating regulated data compliance to enable collaboration and AI innovation, questions often arise about HCOs' data challenges, interoperability vs. collaboration, data quality impacts, and balancing innovation with risk. To gain some guiding thoughts on these topics, I phoned a friend Leigh McCormack, the co-founder and CEO of Platypus, and the former Data Science Lead for BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee. Here's what she had to say: "Over the past decade, our progress in improving data quality for healthcare AI has been minimal, and we have significantly overlooked the importance of data collaboration. It's important to distinguish that collaboration goes beyond just interoperability. While interoperability focuses on the technical aspects of data sharing, primarily for operational needs, collaboration emphasizes the people and purpose behind utilizing that collective knowledge. As we work to overcome challenges in AI, data quality and interoperability remain crucial, but they can only take us so far. To truly advance, we must also adopt collaborative strategies and mindsets, allowing our foundational knowledge to evolve and enhancing our ability to use these technical tools for the benefit of the entire healthcare ecosystem." What are your thoughts on the evolving landscape of healthcare data, collaboration, and AI? #RegulatedData #DataInteroperability #DataQuality #DataCollaboration

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

This is a must-read article on the future of #EMRs. I feel like disruption is long overdue and an exciting future is on the horizon for healthcare. Here are a few excerpts: "Health care has long been Big Technology’s great white whale. Apple, Amazon and Google parent Alphabet Inc. — all #innovators that have been unquestionably dominant in their respective main businesses — have each spent billions trying to disrupt the industry, only to scale back their ambitions when faced with the complexity and power of the established US medical system." While Oracle’s long-term vision for modernizing #HealthInformationTechnology is compelling, and has the potential to positively affect patient care, the company has faced significant setbacks — much like its technology peers. Oracle has ribbed Epic for being too expensive and running on a database it calls archaic and insecure. Epic, in particular, likes to brag about retention. One of the most popular presentation slides at the company is blank and titled “Customers Which Have Switched From Epic to Cerner,” “Since Oracle’s acquisition of Cerner Corporation, it’s been heads down to create this vision... But this year, you will see that the end state is closer than many might think.” What are your thoughts?? #revenuecyclemanagement

The clinical dashboard is a key aspect to ensure strong patient care and streamlined operations for providers. Not only is the data important, but the insights are what really makes the difference for both parties. I enjoyed speaking with Skilled Nursing News about what needs to be included in the dashboard, and the overall impact this type of technology can have on the entire healthcare system. Thanks again for the opportunity!

This is fascinating. Clearly clinicians won’t be able to review the tsunami of data that could flow in. This is why nurses and doctors must have AI and data analytics literacy as new clinical decision support tools are developed to analyze this data.

The healthcare industry is in the grip of an inflationary whirlwind. Since 2022, providers have been relentlessly seeking to expand profit margins and offset ballooning operational costs by tightening the screws on health plan contracts. This trend shows no signs of abating, casting a long shadow into 2025. Like a relentless tide, the cost of GLP-1 drugs is rising, sweeping up overall medical expenditures in its wake. The convergence of groundbreaking prescription drugs for chronic ailments and the surging demand for mental health services is creating a perfect storm of cost inflation. While the promise of biosimilar medications offers a glimmer of hope, it is not enough to stem the rising tide. Health plans are scrambling to find cost-savings within their own operations. This perfect storm of escalating costs demands immediate action. Plan Sponsors must embark on a radical overhaul of their cost management strategies. This is no mere financial challenge; it is a moral imperative. As we know, affordability—the delicate balance between healthcare costs and a family’s income—is the ultimate measure of our system’s success. We built Revive to help employers navigate access and affordability while lowering the total cost of care for Plan Sponsors. Our Whole-Person Care Model and our soon-to-launch Weight Health Program addresses primary care, mental health, medication spend and GLP-1 costs. We'd love the opporutnity to share how this can work for your company. #health #selfcare #healthcare #employer #benefits #healthbenefits #CFO
