Dr. Don Rucker, 1up’s Chief Strategy Officer and former ONC National Coordinator, recently wrote an article for JOURNAL of AHIMA. Below is an excerpt:
“Today, major forces are at play on both the demand and supply sides of quality value measurement data. First, the demand for measurement is rising as healthcare expenses rise. MedPAC, which oversees CMS for Congress, recently stated it simply cannot measure quality in Medicare Advantage, the fastest growing part of Medicare. CMS and the Office of the Inspector General have cited serious concerns with care coverage in Medicare Advantage programs. Pushes for performance transparency are also seen in increased enforcement of CMS price transparency rules. Each of these policy considerations is fundamentally about measuring what we pay for and what we get in healthcare. And each of these policy initiatives is accompanied by new data needs.”
