The sweeping 20,000-page Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act created a compliance and reporting challenge for almost every employer – then later revisions further complicated the picture.
Does it apply to my company? How do I determine which employees might be eligible for coverage? What reporting requirements do I have? If I don’t do everything correctly, what penalties could there be? You’re not alone in wondering. That’s why AGH’s human resource and payroll professionals have put together this guide to give you some of the basics of ACA reporting.

Healthcare Reform: It's Your Business and Your Bottom Line - webinarG&A Partners
Can you afford to provide health insurance for all your employees, at the risk of paying an 8% payroll tax? What happens when private insurance companies can no longer offer independent healthcare plan policies and you are forced to choose from a list of government-approved plans?
These are just two of the many proposed changes under the various versions of proposed healthcare reform legislation. Join us for a special webinar, where we will discuss the potential impact of the proposed bill on small businesses and the workers they employ.
This is Andrew Busch's PPT for Laboratory Products Association annual conference from October 2016. In it, he covers the US economy, the 2016 US Presidential election candidate's policy proposals (Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton) and what lies ahead for future growth of the industry.

NCET Biz Cafe | Valerie Clark, Conundrum of US Healthcare | Sept 2017Archersan
Do you know how new health insurance laws will affect you and your family? Probably not. We totally get it.
In fact, our modern healthcare system has become so complicated, most people don’t understand it — even in its most basic forms.
But the September Tech Café will help, as Valerie Clark, president of insurance brokerage firm Clark & Associates, discusses “The Conundrum of the U.S. Healthcare System.”
Clark’s firm specializes in the development of creative health insurance plans for employer groups of all sizes, so she is perfectly equipped to lead this informative, frank and non-partisan discussion about the challenges and possible solutions to the serious issues that all Americans are facing today.
In this presentation, Clark will:
· Talk about how we got where we are with healthcare, where we’re going, and most importantly, how will it affect you and your family?
· Address major law changes and how they have affected access to and the cost of care over the past several decades.
· Explore the history and evolution of the U.S. health insurance marketplace, and the public healthcare programs that cover those who are without private health insurance.
So join us in The Basement for Tech Café. Go to the historic post office in downtown Reno, then head downstairs. Listen, learn, enter to win raffle prizes — and answer your pressing health insurance questions.
The Biggest Healthcare Trends of 2019 and What's to Come in 2020Health Catalyst
In our Healthcare Outlook for 2019 webinar, Stephen Grossbart, PhD, and Bobbi Brown, MBA, shared their predictions for the biggest trends of the year. Which predictions panned out and which didn’t? View this webinar as Stephen takes a look back at 2019 and makes his forecast for 2020.
So, what did happen in 2019? Following the 2018 midterm elections, we predicted a divided Congress would not pass policies to strengthen or weaken the Affordable Care Act (ACA). We were right. Meanwhile, Democratic presidential candidates debated the extent to which they would support Medicare for All. Insurance costs continued to rise, breaking $20,000 annually for families with employer-sponsored coverage, and CMS continued to support payment policies rewarding quality and interoperability as part of their payment policy.
Join Stephen as he looks in the rearview mirror at these important issues and how they impacted the healthcare industry in 2019 and then gazes into the crystal ball to predict the trends that will most impact healthcare in 2020. In this webinar, Stephen discusses the following topics and more:
• The continued focus on price transparency.
• Congress’ efforts to control prescription drug costs.
• Policies that may change the future of ACOs.
• What to expect going into the 2020 election year.
Explore how the Affordable Care Act and creation of state level and national exchanges has impacted member risk profiles and demand for small-group and individual health plans.

AI-powered Automation: Automate repetitive tasks like data cleaning and feature engineering, freeing up data talent for higher-level analysis.
Right-Tool Selection: Strategically choose the most effective advanced analytics techniques (e.g., AI, ML) based on specific business problems.
4. Prioritize Data Quality with Automation:
Automated Data Validation: Implement automated data quality checks to identify and rectify errors at the source, minimizing downstream issues.
Data Lineage Tracking: Track the flow of data throughout the ecosystem, ensuring transparency and facilitating root cause analysis for errors.
5. Cultivate a Data-Driven Mindset:
Metrics-Driven Performance Management: Align KPIs and performance metrics with data-driven insights to ensure actionable decision making.
Data Storytelling Workshops: Equip stakeholders with the skills to translate complex data findings into compelling narratives that drive action.
Benefits of a Precise Ecosystem:
Sharpened Focus: Precise access and clear roles ensure everyone works with the most relevant data, maximizing efficiency.
Actionable Insights: Strategic analytics and automated quality checks lead to more reliable and actionable data insights.
Continuous Improvement: Data-driven performance management fosters a culture of learning and continuous improvement.
Sustainable Growth: Empowered by data, organizations can make informed decisions to drive sustainable growth and innovation.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
