HTO Robot Nurse Will Robots Replace Healthcare Providers?

Automation has been making human workers superfluous for centuries, but until recently, workers whose jobs required high-level cognitive skills have been able to rest easy, confident no machine could possibly replace them when it came to making nuanced decisions based on the evaluation of complicated, sometimes contradictory data. By Khal Rai, Senior Vice President, Product Development & Operations, SRS Health

  • Improve ACO And Post-Acute-Care Provider Collaboration Through Interoperability
    2/22/2016

    Nearly 40 percent of Medicare beneficiaries are discharged from a hospital to a post-acute care setting, which means the communication and data sharing between these two institutions is crucial, considering as many as 19 percent of those beneficiaries are readmitted within 30 days. Those readmissions impact accountable care organizations’ (ACOs) and senior care organizations’ revenue in several ways. If rates are too high, the hospital participant(s) in the ACO could receive an avoidable readmission penalty from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which can be as much as 3 percent of their Medicare payments. Readmissions also increase costs, decreasing the potential bundled payment for the ACO if it participates in a risk-bearing payment program, such as the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP).
