With hospitals and acute-care facilities under increasing pressure to optimize the revenue cycle, BESLER and HIMSS Media conducted a new study to identify the biggest industry challenges and potential opportunities for improvement. The study included over 100 respondents employed in leadership roles within finance, revenue cycle, reimbursement, and health information management (HIM) in U.S. hospitals and acute-care facilities.
An Aflac survey found that many American workers spend less than 30 minutes researching their health insurance options during open enrollment. In fact, over a third would rather clean out their email or clean toilets than research benefits. However, most workers have less than $1000 for unexpected medical costs and waste up to $750 annually by making mistakes during open enrollment. The article provides tips for choosing the right health benefits plan, including comparing options, understanding costs, considering additional insurance, and getting advice from HR.
This document summarizes an Aflac cancer insurance plan that provides financial protection for employees diagnosed with cancer.

Substance abuse is often an area that is overlooked when considering the value of total Wellbeing programs – i.e. justification for investing in workplace education and support programs.
The document is a study from the Paramedic Foundation analyzing the optimal configuration of advanced life support (ALS) agencies in King County, Washington. It finds that consolidating agencies could reduce costs and increase efficiency. Specifically, operating more medic units per agency reduces costs per response, transport, and capita. The optimal configuration from a financial perspective is a single countywide ALS agency, though political and operational challenges exist. Formal changes to agency boundaries should follow a transparent process involving stakeholders.

MRD would focus exclusively on healthcare jobs and resumes. It would offer free resume posting for job seekers and paid memberships for employers/recruiters to access resumes and post jobs. The document provides statistics on the size of the healthcare industry and estimates MRD pricing would be similar to existing large job boards, around $25,000 annually for employers. Initial needs to launch MRD include developing a website, and hiring marketing and sales staff.
Medicare Advantage plans are growing in popularity as a choice for aging baby boomers and payers are expanding their MA offerings. As traditional Medicare spending increases faster than MA, payers see opportunity in the MA market. However, increasing star ratings is key to attracting more enrollees and driving revenue. A Navigant analysis found that improving a plan's rating by one star can increase annual enrollment by 8-12% and improving from 3 to 4 stars can boost plan revenue by 13-17%. To improve ratings, plans need to invest in closing care gaps and sharing quality initiatives with providers.
Global AI seattle How AI will Reinvent HealthcareAlex Ermolaev
The latest AI advances have the potential to massively improve our health and well-being. However, most of the work is yet to be done.

2016 Survey of US Physicians: Physician awareness, perspectives, and readines...Deloitte United States
The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) is a Medicare payment law intended to drive health care payment and delivery system reform for clinicians, health systems, Medicare, and other government and commercial payers. Deloitte’s 2016 Survey of US Physicians sought to shed light on physicians’ awareness of MACRA, their perspectives on its implications, and their attitudes and readiness for change. The survey found that many physicians are unaware of MACRA. Regardless of their awareness level, most physicians surveyed would have to change aspects of their practice to meet the law’s requirements and to do well under its incentives. Many physicians surveyed recognize they will need to bear increased financial risk (under MACRA and in general) and need support and resources to develop the capabilities do so. http://www.deloitte.com/us/macra?id=us:2sm:3ss:macra:eng:lshc:071216

Lawley Insurance - Private Exchnages In The Era Of The Affordable Care Act Lawley Insurance
This document discusses private exchanges as an alternative for employers to provide employee benefits. It notes that 56% of employers are considering a private exchange based on a 2013 Mercer study.

Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.
