Reshaping Primary Care: Embracing Payment Reforms and VBC Technology
The Innovation Accelerator Podcast
Primary care is meant to be the foundation of our healthcare system, yet it receives only 4-6% of total US healthcare spending. That under-investment is one reason—if not “the” reason—why the US spends more on healthcare but has the worst outcomes among high-income countries, according to a Commonwealth Fund report. Our current fee-for-service system incentivizes volume over value. Despite industry rhetoric about the importance of primary care, it remains poorly resourced and ill-equipped to deliver the comprehensive, continuous care patients need. Meanwhile, clinicians’ frustration...

The Innovation Accelerator Podcast
Starting with a CMS demonstration project of only ten providers in 2005, today’s value-based care (VBC)一when including MIPS and MACRA一now carries close to 100% primary care provider participation. And nearly 60% of all healthcare payments have some relation to quality and value—with rising levels of reimbursement related to risk and population.

The Innovation Accelerator Podcast
When you think of “informatics,” what do you see? Data centers, high speed connections, data and analytics platforms, AI, ML, and NLP? If so, here’s a surprise: the roots of nursing informatics go back to the 1850’s, where Florence Nightingale captured and used data in efforts to improve sanitation that impacted medical protocols in military hospitals.

It's in that spirit that we bring you several members of our CMO (Chief Medical Officer) team, including our CMO himself, Dr. David Nace, in a lively roundtable discussion that takes a look back at HIMSS23, digests the team's key take-aways, shares some trend spotting and action items, and then looks ahead to where healthcare might (or can!) be by the time we all meet again at HIMSS24.
There's even one moment of stunned silence in response to a provocative observation shared by one of the panelists. What's your opinion? Share it on our LinkedIn page.
