Financial/Revenue Cycle Management

Barely a year after announcing its ambitious plan to tie reimbursement to quality of care, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced Thursday that 30 percent of Medicare payments are now tied to alternative payment models, such as ACOs.  

As more healthcare organizations begin adopting some form of a value-based payment model, only 3 percent of providers believe their organizations are highly prepared to make the pay-for-value transition, according to the new 2016 HIMSS Cost Accounting Survey.

As the way hospitals and other healthcare providers get paid undergoes dramatic changes under value-based reimbursement, there is growing importance surrounding the revenue cycle operations.

Rene Cabral-Daniels, CEO of the Community Care Network of Virginia, says some doctors are not effectively partnering in value-based models.

Cedars-Sinai, Wake Forest and Stanford Healthcare executives shared challenges for sustaining innovation at the HX360 Innovation Leaders Program kick-off event.

Report shared at the HIMSS16 Venture+ Forum shows a shift toward "supportive capital."

Experian Health is the new brand for what were 11 businesses that serve the healthcare field, the company announced at HIMSS16.

Todd Dunn tells attendees at the Revenue Cycle Solutions Summit that creating new models requires executives to live in the setting of doctors and patients.

Health Catalyst has raised $70 million in its fifth round of funding, bringing the total of venture capital it has attracted to $235 million.
