Interesting perspective on #TechnologicalDebt in health care by Dave Lamar focused on the provider market, but we seem the same issues within state depts and payers. While good data governance practices are key, there must be a better way to solve this common - if not universal - challenge in health care, if only by offloading some of the administrative responsibilities that require the individual management and administration of no-value-add administrative functions. #healthdata

Thank you to our wonderful participants this afternoon in the HCT Consulting Group Healthcare Transformation Executive Roundtable. Brian D. Washburn, DHA, MHA, FACHE, FACMPE, CHFP, PMP Chris Saxman Elizabeth Crawford Restat Elya Prystowsky, MS, PhD Mark Korth. I was encouraged by several insights from this amazing group: 👉 #Transformation - we know it when we see it! 👉 #Valuebasedcare - we know it when we don't! 👉 #Valuebasedcare means different things to #patients and #providers but we should not lose sight that like or not, we have to play by the language and definitions being proposed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services 👉 #Transformation towards #VBC should be keeping healthcare simple, local and well-coordinated - what 99% of people are trying to do today. Organizing to stop the despicable 1% is adding 30% of costs to everyone - especially #ruralhealth 👉 #EMR Transformation has put some hospitals out of business and in some communities, when the hospital closes, the whole community shuts down 👉 #Transformation this group sees on the horizon includes demand for change only intensifying, doing more with fewer providers, addressing #documentation challenges, #AI should focus on removing the hassle of the little things 👉 MAJOR RISK AHEAD - Will #transformation defined by CMS + #BigTech lead to a loss of simplifying the provider-patient experience? Will documentation to meet #VBC demands only escalate due to the 'potential' of what technology offers? And therefore, will health disparities only expand due to the inability of #ruralhealth to keep up? Ultimately - will we eventually have to unwind many of the current technology investments to one day return to a simpler provider-to-patient connection? Thanks again to our amazing participants. DM me if you'd like to be on our roster to participate in the next one!

Key Strategic Insights = A Successful OP CDI Program The challenge of value-based care starts with a collaborative approach, when launching an Outpatient Clinical Documentation Integrity (OP CDI) program. Here are some key strategic insights to success: 1. Engage with Population Health Understand Pain Points: Begin by understanding the specific challenges faced. This fosters collaboration. Tailored Questions: Use customized questions to facilitate productive discussions and ensure alignment with needs. 2. Effective Software Implementation Manage Patient (Pt.) Volumes: Implement software solutions to efficiently handle pt. volumes. OP CDI Calculator: Utilize a calculator to determine Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) needs. Data Analytics and Reporting: Emphasize the importance of continuous improvement via data analytics. 3. Workflow Creation Establish Robust Workflows: Create strong workflows before integrating reviewers. 4. Collaboration & Communication Promote Strong Collaboration: Encourage robust communication between key stakeholders. Leverage Software: Use technology to reduce physician burnout & streamline communication. 5. Patient-Centered Approach Address social determinants of health (SDOH) & ensure accurate documentation of conditions and care plans. Patient Outcomes: Keep patient care at the center of all doc. & workflow processes. 6. Regulatory Compliance Adhere to Guidelines: Follow regulatory requirements such as CMS guidelines on Hierarchical Condition Categories (HCC) coding to avoid penalties and enhance credibility. 7. Measurable Outcomes Set Clear Goals: Aim for measurable outcomes like improved HCC recapture rates, enhanced RAF scores, better HEDIS measures, and addressing SDOH needs. 8. Stakeholder Engagement Involve All Stakeholders: Ensure that executives, clinicians, and other relevant parties are involved in planning and implementation process. Success Stories Recently, I helped several CDI directors validate their cases for OP CDI programs within Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs). By engaging with population health leadership, we identified key issues such as RAF gaps and HEDIS measures, and tailored processes to address them. For instance, a CDI director I guided successfully identified HCC and HEDIS recapture as their biggest pain points. With strategic solutions in place, they are now ready to implement the project for the 2025 budget yr., aiming to improve their HCC recapture rate by 20%, leveraging data analytics for outcomes and improvement needs. Benefits of Implementing These Strategies Align Risk Stratification: Properly align risk stratification with chronic conditions and healthcare needs. Quality Measures: Improve quality measures and address SDOH. Collaborative Team: Ensure success with a collaborative team supported by technology. Overall, these strategic actions will enhance patient care and operational efficiency. #Healthcare #Leadership #CDI #PatientCare #ValueBasedCare #HealthcareInnovation

Epic Systems’ recent move to back the TEFCA medical records exchange is interesting. On the surface, it’s all about creating a seamless flow of patient data across hospitals, QHINs, and all relevant stakeholders. But let’s be real—data is the oil of the new economy, and interoperability is the pipeline that delivers this precious resource to all the right stakeholders. By aligning with TEFCA, Epic might just be positioning itself as the refinery. All in all, this is a welcoming move by Epic Systems—especially if it really is as straightforward as they make it sound. But given the lack of details, one has to wonder if there are any hidden catches. After all, when it comes to something as valuable as healthcare data, it’s wise to look out for the fine print. Let’s hope this is genuinely about improving patient care. https://lnkd.in/gDdDCcmj

📊 *New Insights on Hospital Integration and Patient Experience*  A recent study highlights that while 73% of U.S. hospitals are integrated within larger health systems, specific forms of integration have a measurable impact on patient satisfaction. Hospitals with physician-hospital partnerships saw a 2-3% increase in positive patient experiences, whereas investor-owned hospitals reported a 5% lower satisfaction score. These findings underscore that in healthcare, as in workplace training, targeted, experience-based approaches drive the best outcomes. At Employability.life, we’re embedding such focused, work simulated learning into our programs to ensure real-world readiness. 🔗 [Read the full research here] https://lnkd.in/dR_9GS5U Duncan Bentley| Carolyn Chong | Dr Manish Malhotra | Raja Dasgupta | Jason Giri| Ruchika Grover Sarna | Anirudh Phadke | Mehak Arora| Keerti Singh | Ridhima Bedi Thareja | Federation University Australia| Employabilitylife| Karuna Verma | Ravi Sharma | @Nipun Sharma 🇮🇳 | Suparna Biswas | Sneha Guhathakurta | Sudeshna M. #WorkplaceReadiness #FutureOfWork #HealthManagement #HealthcareInnovation #employabilitylife #employabilityskills

Since pharmacy claims are paid claims at time of service, it is easier to use this data to identify behavioral insights and patterns to engage members. What I’ve seen working at Arine is that medical trend consistently goes down. AI is not only optimizing this it is also increasing outcomes faster.
