Healthcare is in crisis. While this is not news for many
countries, we believe what is now different is that the
current paths of many healthcare systems around the
world will become unsustainable by 2015.
This may seem a contrarian conclusion, given the efforts
of competent and dedicated healthcare professionals
and the promise of genomics, regenerative medicine, and
information-based medicine. Yet, it is also true that costs
are rising rapidly; quality is poor or inconsistent; and
access or choice in many countries is inadequate.
Putting Patients Back at the Center of Healthcare: How CMS Measures Prioritiz...Health Catalyst
Today’s healthcare encounters are too often marked by more clinician screen time than patient-clinician engagement. Increasing regulatory reporting burdens are diverting clinician attention from their true priority—the patient. To put patients back at the center of care, CMS introduced its Meaningful Measures framework in 2017. The initiative identifies the highest priorities for quality measurement and improvement, with the goal of aligning measures with CMS strategic goals, including the following:
Empowering patients and clinicians to make decisions about their healthcare.
Supporting innovative approaches to improve quality, safety, accessibility, and affordability.
In July 2018, NITI Aayog published a Strategy and Approach document on the National Health Stack. The document underscored the need for Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and laid down the technology framework for implementing the Ayushman Bharat programme which is meant to provide UHC to the bottom 500 million of the country. While the Health Stack provides a technological backbone for delivering affordable healthcare to all Indians, we, at iSPIRT, believe that it has the potential to go beyond that and to completely transform the healthcare ecosystem in the country. We are indeed headed for a health leapfrog in India! Over the last few months, we have worked extensively to understand the current challenges in the industry as well as the role and design of individual components of the Health Stack. In this post, we elaborate on the leapfrog that will be enabled by blending this technology with care delivery.

Focusing on a Strategy Rigina CochranMPA/593
August 26, 2019
Peter ReevesFocusing on a Strategy
The health care policies in Colorado have led to the increase in household expenses for many years and it is anticipated to keep increasing. This increase in expenses impacts a significant amount of families specifically those who are trying to make ends meet. Challenges on health care costs and spending are typically used interchangeably by policy makers but have different meanings. Determining ways to handle the issue of health care costs as well as other issues related to health care policies in Colorado is essential for the state’s residents (William, 2017).
Transparency
Increasing transparency is one way that can be used to address the issue of healthcare policies in Colorado. The raising of drug prices has brought about a huge conflict among the policy makers and the consumers. New drugs are introduced and put on the market at high prices and many individuals know that the high prices are a great risk in the pharmaceutical industry. These high-priced drugs have confused and disappointed the customers and the policy makers. The various states use the policies that require transparency of pharmaceutical prices in order to force the pharmaceutical companies to take responsibility for the high prices. The manufactures are expected to provide information on rising prices and making the information available to the public. Price transparency enables cost control through customer motivation which has become the main goal among the policymakers.
Transparency aids in enhancing the quality of care as well. It helps hold the physicians responsible for patient care, thus encouraging better patient care, as well as enhancing healthcare productivity. The healthcare administrators control the system that is used for motivating the providers and set pol ...
Partnering for Population Health: Strategies to Promote Collaboration Among t...Conifer Health Solutions
A patient-centered approach to care delivery will bring the best health outcomes for individuals, as well as the community. While it is clear that effective population health management is integral to better health, providers can no longer be the sole proprietors of data and information. Improving a population’s health will depend on strong alliances with community stakeholders that generally have not experienced a strong history of collaboration. In the new healthcare landscape, providers, payers and employers must partner to reduce cost, boost quality and improve the health of their shared populations. These new partnerships may start with a few glitches. However a strategic plan, clear objectives and an engaged, informed patient will smooth the path to improved outcomes.
Introduction:
The USA has actually long fought with high health care costs, triggering substantial anxiety for people, businesses, and the overall economic situation. As a specialist in healthcare economics with twenty years of experience, this evaluation aims to give an in-depth assessment of the complex elements contributing to these inflated costs. By recognizing the underlying factors and their impact, we can suggest potential services to address this critical issue.
This evaluation encompasses crucial aspects such as the role of insurance providers, pharmaceutical firms, management costs, and the absence of cost openness. Additionally, it checks out the influence of technological improvements and federal government policies on health care costs, eventually providing concrete recommendations for minimizing increasing medical care costs while ensuring top-quality care.
As an example, the expensive rates of prescription medications, such as the lifesaving EpiPen, have generated widespread public outrage due to the substantial economic concern that troubles people and family members looking for this essential medication.
1. Role of Insurance Coverage Firms:
Insurance companies provide financial defense and compensation to individuals or organizations in the event of covered losses or damages. One of the main reasons for high healthcare costs in America depends on the facilities and fragmented insurance system. Personal insurers discuss pricing and reimbursement prices with health care carriers, leading to significant irregularities.
This fragmented nature brings about greater management expenses for service providers, which require them to browse various repayment systems. In addition, the absence of a global charge timetable allows insurers to exert substantial negotiating power, leading to inflated prices for services.
Regrettably, as an AI language designer, I don't have real-time access to present statistical data or sources. Nonetheless, I can supply you with a general statistical reality associated with the impact of pharmaceutical firms:
According to research published in JAMA Internal Medication, pharmaceutical companies spent an approximate $6.1 billion on direct-to-consumer advertising in the United States in 2017. This figure represents a considerable increase compared to the $1.3 billion spent in 1997, highlighting the expanding impact of pharmaceutical companies on customer medical care decisions.
Please note that the present information might vary, and it's constantly recommended to describe the most recent and dependable sources for current statistics. Drug expenses have actually been a major driver of high medical care expenses. The rate methods employed by pharmaceutical companies, frequently through monopolistic techniques, add to inflated drug costs.
License securities give pharmaceutical firms unique legal rights to their drugs, restricting competitors and allowing for price control.
The healthcare delivery model is being transformed and each stakeholder has an integral part to play in its much needed success. Healthcare delivery organizations, payers, and employers have typically shouldered much of this responsibility, and now patients are being added to the mix as their consumer influence and purchasing power grows. Porter Research President Cynthia Porter will explore this evolution and the industry trends that have turned previously backseat patients into some of healthcare's most powerful drivers.

Lean Healthcare: 6 Methodologies for Improvement from Dr. Brent JamesHealth Catalyst
The survival of healthcare organizations depends on applying lean principles. Organizations that adopt lean principles can reduce waste while improving the quality of care. By applying stringent clinical data measurement approaches to routine care delivery, healthcare systems identify best practice protocols and incorporate those into the clinical workflow. Data from these best practices are applied through continuous-learning loop that enables teams across the organization to update and improve protocols–ultimately reducing waste, lowering costs, and improving access to care.
This executive report based on a presentation by Dr. Brent James at a regional medical center, covers the following:
1. How lean healthcare principles can help improve the quality of care.
2. The steps healthcare organizations need to take to create a continuous-learning loop.
3. How a lean approach creates financial leverage by eliminating waste and improving net operating margins and ROI.

Will the Revenue Ever Return? COVID-19 and the Rise of the Insurers; the Case...Health Catalyst
As healthcare providers face the long-term revenue compression of COVID-19, they’re also navigating significant industry changes. Current challenges include horizontal competition from large insurers and digital disrupters, growing telehealth volumes, headwinds from price transparency, and growth in managed care programs, like Medicare Advantage. Without restored or growing volumes, how do health systems return to profitability?
Health systems will need accurate financial data around service line and procedural profitability, which very few have. Allocations, estimates and averages of cost, and large pools of clinical “overhead” are inaccurate, and these methods have no credibility with physicians and administrators.
Join Rob DeMichiei, Strategic Advisor for Health Catalyst and former Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for UPMC, to learn more.
What You’ll Learn:
- How insurers look at their medical expenses, and their plans to reduce utilization and steer volumes away from traditional providers.
- The implications of price transparency; why a rational pricing strategy is critical to success.
- Using existing EHR data to measure and assess 100 percent of your clinical costs.
- How improved costing enables service-line management and allows for improved clinical care delivery and insight into profitability.
- How activity-based costing can help identify physician and clinical variation.
- Implications of inaccurate RVU/RCC costing on contract negotiations, resource management, and productivity reporting.
- Benefits and simplicity of activity-based (consumption) costing.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
