In a 2017 ACHE survey of hospital executives, of those who listed governmental regulations as one of their top challenges, 70% listed CMS regulations at the top of that list.  The CMS estimates that the total amount available for value-based incentive payments for 2018 will be approximately $1.9 billion.  With so much at stake, it’s vital that hospitals meet the minimum domain requirements in order to have payments adjusted.  Monitoring the performance analysis for a single patient population would be one thing, but things get complicated when you consider the large number of measures a health system must track.  

 

Case studies will be shared that illustrate practical steps you can take in your organization to engage and unleash the potential of your supply chain network.  Gain a better understanding of the role supply chain data plays in achieving the requirements of value-based purchasing.  Learn how to approach decision making from a value perspective and communicate value to all stakeholders.

 

Phase 3 of the Meaningful Use Regulations are effective in 2018.  The recent proposed changes to meaningful use rules have received praise from some quarters, but it remains unclear how physicians will navigate the different programs and requirements they face under each one.  Part 2 of this session will review the meaningful use incentives, objectives and reporting requirements.

 

1. Identify strategies to implement Value-based Purchasing best practices.

2. Analyze the role that supply chain data plays in Value-based Purchasing.

3. Outline the Phase 3 Meaningful Use Regulations and requirements.
