Open Payments-Compliance Exec Summary-Final July 16Andrew Wiles
This document provides an executive summary and analysis of 2015 Open Payments data relating to the Sunshine Act. It summarizes key trends in total payments year-over-year and breaks down payments by category and company. Charts show national fair market rates and top companies by expenditure in different transfer of value categories. The last section describes tools and reports available from WorldDataOnline for further Sunshine Act compliance analysis.
The document discusses how the US healthcare system is currently pre-industrial and will undergo disruption through industrialization. It argues that healthcare costs are unsustainably high and increasing faster than wages or inflation. As consumers face higher deductibles and premiums, consumerism will drive changes in the system. The document also notes several problems including the instability of Medicare and Medicaid funding, an aging population increasing demand, and significant issues with patient safety. It believes elements of value-based care and payment reform show signs of an emerging industrialized, more efficient healthcare model in the US.
The document discusses the financial hardship that many cancer patients experience and provides information on assistance programs. A 2009 study found that 30% of cancer patients delay medications, 22% skip doses, and 40% deplete savings due to cancer costs. The document then outlines various causes of financial hardship for cancer patients and types of assistance available, including federal, state, local, private, and nonprofit programs that provide help with copays, transportation, medications and other expenses. It provides resources for financial support and tips for finding assistance.
ACA: Evidence-Based Update - 2015 Policy Prescriptions® SymposiumCedric Dark
The symposium is designed for clinicians – physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and students – and healthcare executives interested in expanding their scope of knowledge about currently popular health policy topics.
This presentation is by Dr. Seth Trueger. Dr. Trueger is an emergency physician in Chicago whose interests include social media for health professions, payment and delivery reform, crowding, airway, and resuscitation. He is the Assistant Social Media Editor for Annals of Emergency Medicine. He worked as a health fellow / legislative aide in the office of Congressman John Dingell (D-MI) from 9/2013-3/2014 (while still seeing patients, of course). And since January 1, 2013, has served as the Social Media (Twitter) Editor for Emergency Physicians Monthly. You can follow him on Twitter @MDAware or online at MDAware[dot]org.
This document provides an overview and analysis of 2015 Open Payments data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. It finds that total payments to physicians were similar to 2014 at around $7.5 billion, while the number of physicians receiving payments and reporting companies decreased slightly. It also analyzes trends in payments by category and company, finding that food and beverage payments decreased on average while consulting fees increased. Additional data and tools are available to further analyze payments by company, physician, and location.
Improving the Customer Service Experience to Achieve Better Outcomes at a Low...mikewilhelm
The document discusses improving the customer service experience in healthcare to achieve better outcomes at a lower cost. It covers several topics:
1) External forces like the Affordable Care Act are pushing healthcare away from just focusing on volume of services provided toward focusing on the value of care through outcomes and costs.
2) Payment models are shifting from fee-for-service toward shared risk models like accountable care organizations and bundled payments to encourage improved outcomes at lower costs.
3) Access to behavioral healthcare treatment is improving through initiatives like certified community behavioral health clinics and health homes.
1) The venture capital outlook document discusses signs that private tech markets are overvalued due to an influx of new capital sources investing with less pricing discipline.
2) Late-stage valuations, median revenue multiples, and e-commerce multiples are much higher for private companies compared to historical levels and public market comparables.
3) Over 2/3 of mid-late stage deals now include non-VC investors like corporations, hedge funds, and mutual funds, and round sizes have increased with less consideration for price.
4) While some overpricing may occur, the document concludes that technology innovation will continue growing as a proportion of the economy, leading to returns for top venture capital firms.

Why Hospitals Want Patients to Pay Upfront

Melody Rempe spends much of her day telling people who are about to go into the hospital how much they’ll have to pay. As a patient financial counselor at Nebraska Methodist Health System, she calls patients about a week before they go in for procedures with estimates of their bills and what portion insurance will cover. Although many are grateful, some cry or yell. “Sometimes you’re talking to them about the biggest thing in their life,” she says. Rempe says most calls end well when she walks patients through the hospital’s payment-plan options or other financial assistance.
Hospitals have good reason to be concerned about their patients’ finances: Even people with insurance are increasingly responsible for a big portion of their medical bills. Among Americans who get health coverage at work, 41 percent have deductibles of at least $1,000 they must meet before insurance starts paying. That’s up from 10 percent in 2006, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. Those with employer coverage are joined by 7 million new enrollees in Obamacare plans, which typically make patients share a large chunk of costs. The average deductible in the most popular “silver” tier of coverage is $2,267, according to an analysis by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Raising deductibles helps employers and insurers limit premium hikes. It also shifts more of the risk onto individuals. That in turn boosts the chances that doctors and hospitals won’t get paid. If a patient has a $2,900 deductible, “it’s far more difficult to get that $2,900 from an individual patient than it is from the Medicare program or from Blue Cross Blue Shield,” says Richard Gundling, vice president of the Healthcare Financial Management Association, a trade group. A March report on hospitals from Moody’s (MCO), the credit-rating firm, was blunt: “Today’s high deductibles are tomorrow’s bad debt.”
Hospitals’ total cost of uncompensated care reached $46 billion in 2012, equal to about 6 percent of their expenses, the American Hospital Association says. Large for-profit chains such as LifePoint Hospitals (LPNT), which operates more than 60 medical centers in 20 states, have felt the impact of rising deductibles. LifePoint’s bad debt related to copays and deductibles is running at $25 million per quarter this year, up from $15 million per quarter in 2013, Leif Murphy, the company’s chief financial officer, said on an earnings call in July. He blamed the increase in part on the growing prevalence of high-deductible plans.
As the mechanics of insurance policies become more complicated, Americans are having a harder time understanding how their plan choices will affect their finances. Only 14 percent of insured adults correctly understand insurance jargon such as de.
The document analyzes cost sharing structures for inpatient facility costs among Marketplace plans in 38 states in 2016. It finds that bronze plans most commonly featured coinsurance or copayments plus coinsurance, while silver and higher tier plans increasingly featured only copayments. The average copayment was highest for bronze plans ($777 per day) and lowest for platinum ($325). Coinsurance rates were also highest for bronze plans (33%) and lowest for platinum (17%).

1. I agree that the changes made with CMS (center for Medicare and Medicaid Services) how changed the guidelines for how providers can bill for services. One of the biggest changes was the upgrade of ICD codes which has expanded enormously to be more specific with diagnosis and services to bill for. I work for a program of hospice, called palliative care, and the change over from using ICD9 codes to ICD10 was a very large task that took time to switch over to but I have come to realize that changes in health care are inevitable and to be prepared for things to change constantly. With being a palliative care program I don't think the change was as big of an impact on us like I'm sure it was for a hospital. Our program provides education on disease progress for chronic illnesses such a chronic kidney disease, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, heart disease and so on. The amount of ICD 10 codes we use are minimal compared to what a hospital would see. Nonetheless the codes are way more specific now which can be challenging when trying to narrow down for accuracy.
2. I think training and feedback are two important aspects of implementing electronic medical records. The users are the most important stakeholders and they should be trained properly. Their feedback should be taken seriously as this helps with post implementation changes to the system. No one likes changes but change in any organization is essential. Technology has completely transformed the health care industry and from my experience resistance typically comes from the older generation who doesn't really understand the importance. Most are used to doing things manually. Most organizations are turning to the technology to transform their environment by cutting costs and ensuring that their revenues are coming in timely.

The Structure Of Narration And Its Significance - BlogMonica Ramos
The document discusses the differences between adversarial and inquisitorial justice systems. In an adversarial system, two opposing parties present their cases before an impartial judge or jury, who determine the truth. In an inquisitorial system, the judge takes a more active role in investigating evidence and determining the truth. The adversarial system is argued to be more impartial and accurate in determining the truth in a case.
5 Most Dangerous Trends Facing Small Business in 2014Allen Pratt
Economic Uncertainty. One of the main factors indicating that the U.S. may not experience strong economic growth in 2014 is its weak GDP growth.
According to Federal Reserve research, since 1947, when real GDP grows at a rate of less than two percent year-over-year, recession has occurred in the following year about 70 percent of the time.
In the first and second quarters of 2013, GDP in the U.S. grew by 1.1 percent and 2.5 percent respectively. Barclays forecasted that third-quarter GDP growth will be 1.5 percent, but it can be significantly lower because of the government shutdown.
The government shutdown can have a very real impact on the economy, putting its recovery in jeopardy.
Businesses are facing more policy uncertainty now than any other time since the debt-ceiling fiasco in 2011. The current monetary and fiscal uncertainty can result in a significant decline in investment and employment, and potentially lower economic growth rate by as much as one percent this year.
If that happens, the economy may be at stall speed by the beginning of 2014. According to some experts, there is a possibility that the U.S. will experience a recession next year.

This surpasses both the 95% accuracy of earlier systems as well as DeepFace from Facebook, which achieved 97.35% accuracy on LFW. FaceNet demonstrates the rapid progress being made in deep learning for face recognition tasks.
This document discusses whether the New River Valley region needs permanent supportive housing and whether the New River Community Action program should pursue it. It analyzes client data from January 2015 to December 2016 which found that over 50% of clients qualified for permanent supportive housing based on their scores on the VI-SPDAT assessment. The high rates of clients experiencing tri-morbidity, financial struggles, mental health issues, and past trauma contributed to their high scores. Most qualifying clients came from Montgomery County. The document concludes NRCA should apply for competitive funding for permanent supportive housing in fiscal year 2017/2018 to help serve the needs of the chronically homeless population.
2014 Is The "Real" Start of Health Care Reformwisdomjl
2014 Represents the biggest change in the Health Care/Health Insurance Industry since the passage of Medicare in 1965. Here's a presentation on how it will impact all of us, including what strategies can be employed to successfully navigate these changes.
The document discusses four essential ingredients - Cloud, Analytics, Mobility, and Process (CAMP) - for healthcare payers, providers, and PBMs to succeed in today's changing environment. It describes each element in detail: Cloud computing provides on-demand resources and infrastructure; Advanced analytics are needed to analyze large amounts of data; Mobility allows access to information anywhere; and Process improvement is required to maximize efficiency. The document argues that adopting these four elements is necessary to maintain a competitive edge, level the playing field for smaller organizations, and take advantage of new opportunities in the healthcare industry.
The home care reforms will allow approved home care providers to market their services through My Aged Care and attract more clients. Providers offering residential care can also become home care providers through a simplified process. However, the key impact will be increased competition for funding across the sector, requiring home care providers to reconfigure staffing models and improve treasury management. Providers need to consider how to strengthen their policies, review their business models to handle fluctuating demand, stress test financial forecasts, and plan for potential risks from upcoming funding shifts in July 2018.
