2013 Outlook: Reform Will Drive Healthcare Industry's Shifts
|
As healthcare exits a year in which reform survived major challenges and enters the final year before millions are expected to gain health insurance, the industry's push to gain greater efficiency will continue to transform operations, heighten pressure on quality initiatives to deliver a return and squeeze suppliers to the nation's hospitals and doctors. Years of cost control among U.S. hospitals will force the sector to undertake more fundamental changes to care delivery to further curb expenses in the coming year. But that won't ease pressure to squeeze spending on medical and surgical supplies, an ongoing target for hospital cost-control efforts. Initiatives to improve quality will be under increasing pressure to deliver a return on investment along with better outcomes. Read the full article... |

Organized Medicine Urges CMS to Halt ICD-10 Switch
| | |
The mandated transition in late 2014 to new diagnosis codes used for billing medical services will be a significant burden for physician practices and cause many to go out of business, the American Medical Association and scores of other organized medicine groups stated in a Dec. 20, 2012, letter.
The administrative and financial strains of switching to the ICD-10 code set will come at a time when physicians also will be required to participate in several quality and health information technology programs. Overlapping federal regulations and the continued threat of steep Medicare physician pay cuts will make the transition extremely difficult, the AMA and about 80 specialty and state physician organizations wrote in the letter to acting Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Marilyn Tavenner.
"Stopping the implementation of ICD-10 is a critical, necessary step for removing regulatory burdens on physicians and ensuring that small physician practices are able to keep their doors open," the letter stated.
