How does your health system's quality of care measure up? With the shift toward a value-based purchasing model that rewards value, outcomes, and patient satisfaction instead of merely volume, providers need to be prepared as the country moves to implement value-driven healthcare. In a world of accountable care, quality measures, shared savings, and bundled payments, today's focus must shift to affordability in conjunction with obtaining higher value.
Value-Based Purchasing in healthcare is here to stay. Though the industry has come to terms with this reality, there are still more updates and changes than most of us can keep up with. In a world of accountable care, quality measures, shared savings, and bundled payments, everyone seems to have more questions than answers.

The Key to Transitioning from Fee-for-Service to Value-Based ReimbursementsHealth Catalyst
The shift from fee-for-service to value-based reimbursements has good and bad consequences for healthcare. While the shift will ultimately help health systems provide higher quality lower cost care, the transition may be financially disastrous for some. In addition, the shifting revenue mix from commercial payers to Medicare and Medicaid is creating its own set of challenges. There are, however, three keys to surviving the transition: 1) Effectively manage shared savings programs to maximize reimbursement. 2) Improve operating costs. 3) Increase patient volumes. With an analytics foundation, health systems will be able to meet and survive today’s healthcare challenges.

The healthcare ecosystem is witnessing a huge transformation lately; propelled by improved care and patient outcomes as the critical drivers. Briefly put, organizations (providers, hospitals and all) are leveraging the potential of Internet of Things, to empower their people, patients to take control of their own health. In a subtle way, redefining the way people, sensors, apps, devices and wearables can interact with each other in a secure environment, and take the healthcare experience to the next level.
A recent survey by Forrester Consulting suggests 90% of the Healthcare IT departments are ready to adapt IoT based solutions. And, 52% of the surveyed respondents are already incorporating IoT technology.
With IoT as a powerful enabler, innovative apps and wearables are taking strong roots in the healthcare ecosystem; health bands, fitness devices, calorie meters, heart rate monitors, to name a few. Such healthcare devices are used by physicians to record patient’s biometric information as they deliver exceptional patient monitoring and management results on-the-go.
A GraphQL approach to Healthcare Information Exchange with HL7 FHIRSuresh KUMAR Mukhiya
Interoperability is accepted as a fundamental necessity for the successful realization of Healthcare Information Systems. It can be achieved by utilizing consistent standards defining syntactic and semantic meaning of the information being exchanged. HL7 FHIR is one of such open standards for Health Information Exchange (HIE). While HL7 FHIR supports Representational State Transfer (REST) architecture and Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) for seamless information exchange, it inherits the inflexibility and complexity associated with the RESTful approach. GraphQL is a query language developed by Facebook that provides promising techniques to overcome these issues. In this paper, we exploit the use of GraphQL and HL7 FHIR for HIE; present an algorithm to map HL7 FHIR resources to a GraphQL schema, and created a prototype implementation of the approach and compare it with a RESTful approach. Our experimental results indicate that the combination of GraphQL and HL7 FHIR-based web APIs for HIE is performant, cost-effective, scalable and flexible to meet web and mobile clients requirements.
Interoperability is one of the most critical issues facing the health care industry today. A universal exchange language is needed to assist health care providers in sharing health information in order to coordinate diagnosis and treatment, while maintaining privacy and security of personal data. Health Information Exchanges (HIE) allow for the movement of clinical data between disparate systems; they enable providers to electronically share health records through a network. This presentation provides an overview of HIE and the Meaningful Use requirement related to the exchange of clinical information as well as information about standards of exchange and the recommended "next steps" for providers.
EMR (Electronic Medical Record) is computerized legal medical record created in an organization that delivers care such as Hospital or doctor’s clinic. EMR will provide to improve the quality of life by reducing costs. The use of the system will help to centralize the medical information.

What the Shift to Value Means for PharmaceuticalsMedullan
With the transition to value, payers are insisting that pharmaceutical manufacturers deliver real world evidence of their drug’s efficacy before being allowed on formulary. The cost of new specialty treatments has forced companies to bolster and go beyond clinical trial, proving that their drugs improve health outcomes and reduce the cost of care in actual use. Gathering and compiling the myriad of needed data points requires a digital strategy that connects patients, providers, and payers. These comprehensive digital technology platforms are also effective tools for delivering competitive differentiation, better speed to market, and a source for new and expanded revenues.

A CEO's Keys to Continuous Quality ImprovementHealth Catalyst
Healthcare organizations will not survive this unstable environment without a vision and a plan. Even with rapidly declining reimbursement that makes resource allocation tight, a CEO must address what it will cost to sustain a commitment to quality and then move forward in building capacity into the organization to provide that quality.
Join Greg Stock, chief executive officer of Thibodaux Regional Medical Center, as he shares how Thibodaux strives for the Triple Aim using the following keys to successful continuous quality improvement:
Engaging physicians and other influencers to bring together the right people for effective collaboration
Leveraging a data warehouse to identify opportunities for improvement, have a single source of truth to support decisions, and rapidly implement change
Spreading expertise across the organization, or ensuring individuals take the knowledge and skills they have acquired and apply them to other problem areas throughout the organization
Don’t miss hearing this CEO’s experiences with a methodology that The Joint Commission calls “best practice in how to use data and get physicians engaged.”
