Obamacare is in the news every day,
with much discussion of jobs and exchanges and insurance and many
other topics. My beat is the other side, the provider side, and a
great deal of confusion and chaos lives there.
What are providers supposed to be
doing?
improve quality
cut costs
install complex EMR systems able to
link into EHR networks
work through a massive transition to
ICD-10 coding
move into a complex “big data”
environment
move to innovative delivery and revenue
models
(ACOs, bundling)
overall, develop and implement new and
unknown clinical and business models
So what's the problem?
No one, in or out of government, can
tell us what the destination is. This is a ginormous lab experiment
with patients as the white mice.
