Alleviate end-of-year, value-based care gap closure anxiety

Medical Economics | September 21, 2023

The end of each calendar year brings with it an atmosphere of heightened scrutiny for risk-bearing health care organizations. These organizations are in a race against time to close risk and quality gaps to maximize their performance and reimbursements in value-based care (VBC). The upcoming Healthcare Quality Week is a timely reminder for organizations to monitor their key performance indicators and to advance patient care initiatives with the goal of finishing the year on a high note.

CMMI teases new behavioral, maternal health models launching this year

Healthcare Dive | September 15, 2023

The CMMI was founded more than a decade ago as part of the Affordable Care Act in an effort to move the needle toward paying for quality instead of quantity in healthcare. The models it promulgates can have major implications for government healthcare programs like Medicare and Medicaid — and their beneficiaries. The CMS estimates more than 41.5 million people were impacted by or received care in innovation models from 2020 to 2022. The two upcoming models target worsening crises in U.S. healthcare.

The SDOH Reality Check: Coding, Claims and Value-Based Care

HIT Consultant| September 19, 2023

While the need to address social determinants of health (SDOH) is definitely not new, 2023 marks the first year SDOH is codified into national and statewide value-based payment program mandates. These mandates are designed to hold Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) and Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) accountable. While the rollout of SDOH code sets across our healthcare ecosystem is one phase, alone it’s not enough. The next phases are even more critical: codes must be collected, used, reviewed, and acted upon within value-based payment programs to ensure patients realize the benefits of a more inclusive and accessible healthcare system.

Are you spending too many resources chasing charts? The answer is probably yes. Validating diagnoses for members is critical to success for any risk adjusted population, and retrieving and coding charts is the most popular process used to tackle this issue.

While chart chasing can be helpful, there are inefficiencies that can be a burden. Here we’ll discuss what they are.
