Global ESG 2018 Outlook
Asia will power the next stage of environmental, social and

Why plan G
Plan G is a standardized Medicare supplement plan that has lower premiums than Plan F because it does not cover the annual Part B deductible. According to rates provided, a male aged 65 would save $175.92 per year by choosing Plan G over Plan F. Plan G is considered a safe and cost-effective option by many Medicare agents. Guarantee issue eligibility can occur within 6 months of turning 65 or enrolling in Part B, or if a Medicare Advantage plan is no longer offered in one's county. Plans A, B, C, F, K and L must accept applicants during guarantee issue periods. Medicare supplements differ from Medicare Advantage plans in that supplements cannot drop coverage after enrollment.

Rising Healthcare Costs: Why We Have to Change
With rising healthcare costs, we hear so often about rate pressures on hospitals and the risk these pressures pose for their future. With healthcare reform, the burden of rising healthcare costs is shifting from payers to providers. Hospitals need to move toward value-based reimbursement models or they will face a -15.8 operating margin by 2021.Over the last 15 years premiums and employee contributions for an average family with health insurance sponsored by an employer have risen 167%. Along with these facts, government payers are reimbursing at lower levels becoming a negative margin for hospitals. These changes are not necessarily easy and can seem overwhelming. The question is whether your hospital will be a pioneer on the trail or will delay until it’s too late. The best way to get started is to understand exactly where you are today—your current cost structure and how each area of your organization is performing in terms of quality and cost, using an EDW.

Global and Canada - Stimulus response to COVID-19
This document provides an overview and summary of Canada's economic response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It outlines various stimulus programs by the federal and provincial governments, including emergency benefits for self-employed individuals, sick leave programs, the GST credit, child benefits, and wage subsidies for businesses. It notes issues with some programs not adequately supporting those in industries reliant on tips as income. The summary criticizes the response for a lack of coordination between public and private sector sick leave programs and calls for more support of frontline workers and the healthcare system.
The Future of Employer Health Insurance
Employers are always looking for ways to reduce one of their biggest expenditures–the cost of providing health insurance to employees. Many employers have explored solutions such as adding wellness plans, reducing usage, and providing different provider access mechanisms, all with modest success.
Stemming the rising costs of health insurance requires management to understand and improve healthcare outcomes for their employee and dependent populations. Changing the future of employer health insurance will require a multi-faceted approach:
Driving additional value by reducing utilization of healthcare services within these employer populations.
Utilizing a wider lens through which to view performance of various providers, then making decisions based on those who are consistently providing low cost, high quality care.
Employer will need to combine their data with other companies across a geographic region to get a better picture of the provider landscape than has ever been possible before.

Cost Segregation
Cost segregation is a process that identifies assets associated with construction, renovation, or expansion projects that can be depreciated over shorter time periods than the overall building structure. This results in greater tax deductions in early years of a project. A cost segregation study reviews project plans and conducts on-site inspections to isolate assets that qualify for accelerated depreciation over 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, or 27.5 year periods.

Paying Income Taxes Can Reduce Estate Taxes
This document provides information on estate planning techniques to reduce estate taxes through shifting income tax liability. It discusses three examples: 1) Paying income tax on a minor's account to increase its value without gifting more assets. 2) Creating a defective trust where the grantor pays income tax, allowing the trust to accumulate tax-free. 3) Making a loan to a defective trust where the interest income and payments reduce the estate over time. The goal is to transfer wealth over generations while minimizing total tax liability.

Overcoming Tax Challenges
The document discusses some of the tax challenges businesses are facing this tax season. Geri Boyer, founder of Kaskaskia Engineering Group, notes that tax extenders make tax planning more difficult this year than last due to some provisions being extended through 2019 while others are only through 2016. Darlene Sowell of Neighborhood Houses says her company's accounting system has improved with technological advances but records still need to be accurate for tax season. Both women emphasize relying on an outside CPA firm for tax preparation advice and questions about changes.
Financial Fitness February 2016
Since October 2015, merchant banks have taken the necessary steps to prevent fraud by issuing chip and pin cards to their customers. By putting these smart cards in consumers’ wallets, banks are shifting the liability of fraud from them to you, the merchant. These smart payment cards and the terminals that accept them are the new technical standard for card payment, and are often referred to as EMV.
Financial fitness oct 2015
Chip and Pin and Your Small Business discusses the importance of small businesses updating their point-of-sale systems to accept EMV chip cards. EMV chip cards store data on embedded microchips instead of magnetic strips, making them more secure against fraud. Credit card companies are implementing liability shifts that will hold businesses responsible for fraudulent charges if they don't adopt EMV processing technology by October 2015. Updating point-of-sale systems to accept EMV payments will help businesses remain secure, compliant with payment regulations, and reduce the risk of fraud.
Financial Fitness August 2015
Risk is a factor in all businesses and needs to be properly assessed and managed. An enterprise risk management (ERM) program can help identify potential risks, assess their impact, and help manage known and unknown risks. To implement an effective ERM program, a company should: 1) Ask employees to identify risks, 2) Determine the company's risk management maturity, 3) Set short- and long-term objectives, 4) Perform risk assessments to identify internal and external risks and opportunities, 5) Determine risk responses like avoiding, accepting, reducing or sharing risks, 6) Design control activities to ensure risk responses are carried out, 7) Communicate risk information to employees, and 8) Continuously monitor the business environment and risk

Digital India will need a big trained army of Health Informatics educated & trained manpower in India.
Presently, generalist IT manpower does most of the work in the healthcare industry in India. Academic Health Informatics education is not readily available at school & health university level or IT education institutions in India.
We look into the evolution of health informatics and its applications in the healthcare industry.
HIMMS TIGER resources are available to assist Health Informatics education.
Indian Health universities, IT Education institutions, and the healthcare industry must proactively collaborate to start health informatics courses on a big scale. An advocacy push from various stakeholders is also needed for this goal.
Health informatics has huge employment potential and provides a big business opportunity for the healthcare industry. A big pool of trained health informatics manpower can lead to product & service innovations on a global scale in India.
