Accountable Care
The first phase of the interoperability project will focus on Medicare Advantage members, using FHIR and open APIs to automate patient identification and give clinicians the actionable information they need to advance value-based care.
Bob Watson, CEO of Health Gorilla, explains why providers can expect interoperability enforcement under CMS and the advantages of adoption.
eClinicalWorks showcased a series of artificial intelligence tools it says are all aimed at improving the relationships between doctors and patients, and billing departments and healthcare consumers.
The timeline for creating, testing and deploying new required tools in electronic health records could lead to increased data variability and added administrative burdens, the trade group told CMS in comments on proposed payment rules.
Dr. Ty Gluckman, one of a team of hundreds of board-certified physicians who help with the evidence-based care standard of one vendor's clinical analytics system, offers some insights, as a practicing physician, into these IT imperatives.
A five-year waiver extension would not only give more seniors access to the proven care delivery model, but would also enable continued progress toward permanent expansion, they tell lawmakers.
IT leaders play a critical role in breaking down the silos that hinder payer-provider execution of value-based care by championing robust data integration and interoperability, and leading joint technology and AI strategies, says one CEO expert.
Innovaccer, Palo Alto Networks, Samsung and others are using artificial intelligence to improve patient access, enhance urgent care and home health with clinical insights, position mobile health data for consumption, and secure agentic AI integrations.
Billed as a first instance of payer integration with a patient portal, the health plan now enables members who are already MyChart users to manage both their clinical care and insurance details in the portal.
"Rather than waiting for data integrations or struggling to interpret ad hoc reports, teams know where to focus, how to deploy resources, and what results to expect," its president says.
