Ashley Johnson+FollowHow Value-Based Care Is Shaking Up HealthcareEver wondered how healthcare could actually reward better patient outcomes instead of just more appointments? Don Calcagno spills the tea on how value-based care is flipping the script—think docs getting incentives for closing care gaps like high blood pressure or diabetes. The real challenge? Getting the right data and funding upfront, especially for small practices. But with new tech and smarter payment models, Advocate Health is making it work. The future? Smarter, more connected care that actually puts patients first. #HealthcareReform #ValueBasedCare #HealthInnovation #PatientOutcomes #Health70Share
Ashley Johnson+FollowCMS Shakes Up Nursing Home Payments?Big changes could be coming for nursing homes! CMS is pushing for value-based care and wants to make payments the same across different care settings. That means nursing homes, home health, and rehab facilities might all get paid the same for similar patient needs. Sounds fair, but it could mean less money for nursing homes and more for home health. Plus, CMS is looking to loosen rules on who can own or expand nursing homes. This could totally shake up the industry! #HealthcareNews #NursingHomes #Medicare #ValueBasedCare #CMS #Health1611Share
Dana David+FollowHome Care’s Secret Weapon: Real-Time DataEver wonder how home care is getting smarter? It’s all about real-time data! Providers and payers are ditching the old ‘more is better’ mindset and focusing on quality outcomes. With tech capturing everything from missed meds to living conditions, care teams can spot issues early, cut down on ER visits, and actually improve lives. The best part? Everyone wins—patients, providers, and payers. Data-driven care is seriously changing the game! #HomeCare #ValueBasedCare #HealthTech #DataDriven #HealthcareInnovation #Health10Share
Beth Burton+FollowTelepsychiatry’s Secret Win for MedicaidDid you know that outpatient telepsychiatry is seriously cutting down on hospital stays for Medicaid patients—without making care more expensive? A new study found that folks using telepsychiatry had way fewer hospitalizations and ER visits, but the overall costs stayed about the same as usual care. The catch? Medicaid patients still struggle to get timely mental health help because of low reimbursement rates. But this could be a game-changer for value-based care if more payers jump on board! #Telepsychiatry #MentalHealth #Medicaid #HealthcareInnovation #ValueBasedCare #Health110Share
