CMS' Triple Aim: How do we get there from here? Jessica Jenkins, Senior Business Analyst
Health information must adapt to the demands of today’s health care system. Congress has demanded it with unprecedented legislation impacting CMS programs and the stakeholders involved. As the systemic changes continue to evolve, most recently with CMS’ release of the Shared Savings Program final rule, it’s clear that tomorrow’s health innovators must find ways to work smarter. They must do so because the payment structure requires it.
Todd Doze, Director of Product Development It's Time.
Transforming the current fragmented healthcare delivery system into a comprehensive, technology driven, outcome-focused approach is not going to be easy. The lack of clear guidance on what it should look like has caused a backlash among stakeholders. Dollars are as tight as ever, and the fear and uncertainty about the future doesn't exactly inspire "transformation." Meanwhile, healthcare reform is requiring hospitals, practices, payers, and governments to align their healthcare IT efforts in support of the data sharing and analytics needed to sustain new reimbursement and reporting models. Cost savings are promised in their wake.

The Obama administration proposal to cut Medicare payments for acute-care hospitals by 0.5 percent next year will seem pejorative to many hospitals that are treating more complex and severely ill patients and to every hospital that is making investments in accountable care and EHR systems.
There has been a lot of media speculation about whether the HITECH program stimulus will be successful in driving EHR adoption or will many hospitals just do it on their own digital transformation calendar.
