Ways Medtech Can Embrace Healthcare Reform And Ultimately Save Billions Of Dollars12/17/2015
U.S. hospitals and other providers face unprecedented change with reimbursement cuts, pressure to improve quality and outcomes, consolidation, and new pay-for-performance reimbursement models just some of the forces driving it. The pressure for change is impacting many areas of the healthcare system with one area receiving increased attention being the healthcare supply chain. The supply chain has historically suffered from misaligned incentives, opaque data on price and value, outdated purchasing practices and less accountability for managing costs. In fact, in one large survey conducted a few years ago, more than 50 percent of provider supply chain professionals described their own supply chain as immature. As the hospital supply chain matures, suppliers to hospitals need to evolve as well. With all of the change occurring, medical technology suppliers in particular face a choice. Embrace the change and help save billions in healthcare costs or try to survive operating in an evolving market using an old business model. By Dan Bayer, VP and GM Life Sciences, Model N

Patient leakage from a health system network is an emerging critical issue facing healthcare leaders. As Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements continue to negatively affect operating margins for even high-performing health systems, competition for privately insured patients is increasing. To compensate for flat or shrinking fee-for-service revenue from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, many health systems are participating in the agency’s value-based care payment programs; while this presents new revenue opportunities, it also puts pressure on systems to improve outcomes.

The healthcare industry has undergone immense change over the last decade. From the introduction of healthcare analytics to the widespread implementation of electronic medical records (EMR)/electronic health records (EHR) across the U.S. to even the replacement of legacy phone systems with unified communications technology, the systems that make up today’s healthcare organizations function and look quite differently than 10 or 20 years ago. The common thread among all of this change is technology and the widespread adoption of the “anywhere, anytime” mindset for communication.
