It’s difficult to believe, but 2022 is just around the corner – and with it a new set of MIPS (Merit-based Incentive Payment System) updates for practices to digest and incorporate into their strategy. While adjusting to each year’s new MIPS rules is an annual challenge many providers are familiar with, performance year 2022 will bring changes more significant than those seen in previous years.

In this episode, we sit down with Beth Hickerson, MIPS expert and Medical Advantage’s Senior Consultant for Quality and Healthcare Transformation. Listen in to hear Hickerson share insights about coming changes to MIPS – including the removal of the Extreme and Uncontrollable Circumstances (EUC) Policy, increased performance thresholds, the fact that Quality and Cost Categories will now be rated equally, and more.

In addition, Hickerson shares tips and guidance from a career of assisting organizations with MIPS, and best practices healthcare entities can keep top-of-mind to succeed in the long game that is MIPS.

Medical Advantage Podcast - Ep. 36 Need-to-Know MIPS Updates

Ep. 36 Need-to-Know MIPS Updates

Medical Advantage Podcast

play

01/24/23 • 29 min

Healthcare costs are a constant concern for payers, and the CMS is no exception. Quality care mitigates excessive costs, and the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) is a CMS initiative designed to increase preventive care efforts by rewarding top performance. By carrying out the prescribed care quality criteria with excellence, providers can earn a bonus payment – falling short of scoring thresholds results in a penalty.

But this program is not static, as the CMS will update the program’s parameters periodically. Coming changes to MIPS scoring are published at the end of each calendar year in what is called the “final rule.” Another area where the CMS is discretionary is the Extreme and Uncontrollable Circumstances (EUC) hardship provision for impacts related to COVID-19.

The final rule is extremely long with a tremendous amount of information to comb through. Want to cut to the chase and hear the most significant changes? We’ve got you covered. In this episode, hosted by Rebekah Duke, our MIPS Quality Expert Missi Thomas shares the final rule updates every MIPS participant should be aware of, plus more information about the EUC hardship exemption that has been granted for one more year.

This podcast is for MIPS participants and those who are considering it in the future. But what is also relevant to such providers is the Accountable Care Organization (ACO). Medical Advantage now offers an ACO to support value-based care providers, including help with the downside risk associated with MIPS. Email us at [email protected] for more information.

Medical Advantage Podcast - Ep. 35 The Truth Behind Clinician Burnout
play

12/14/22 • 32 min

In many industries, the prevailing advice for burnout is to take time off or take more breaks. For many clinicians, suggestions like these indicate a lack of understanding of why healthcare professionals end up with burnout. Within days of coming back from a vacation, the provider will go right back into thoughts of quitting. Within minutes of driving home from the office, the provider will realize they could have left on time if they didn't take a lunch break.
In this podcast, we put in the spotlight the broad-ranging impact burnout has on all levels of care beyond clinicians themselves. The clinician's family, patients, support staff, managers, and sometimes even the executives can feel the detrimental effects of a provider's burnout. We also explain why more technology isn't likely to help, but why a "practice redesign" is.
Host Celina DeFigueiredo-Dusseau and Vice President of Growth Chad Anguilm have a frank discussion about the state of burnout, its primary causes, and how some proposed solutions are more feasible than others. They also talk about what clinicians are thinking and feeling while on the road to burnout.

Online Reputation Management & The Power of Positive Patient Sentiment is one of our most downloaded episodes. In case you missed it, we are running it once more.
You have no control over what patients say about your medical practice online, but the influence of ratings and reviews is simply too powerful to ignore. With the overwhelming majority of patients using online reviews to choose one practice over another, online reputation is not something you can afford to be passive about.

Instilling healthcare consumer confidence is perhaps the most significant way online ratings and reviews impact medical care – patients want to know they will be in good hands and the comfort of knowing what to expect on their care journey. Patient feedback lets a practice know what they are doing well and where they need to improve with patient care.

In this episode of the Medical Advantage podcast, Bill Riley, Vice President of Marketing, and Rebekah Duke, Senior Copywriter (both of Medical Advantage) sit down to talk about how to harness the power of positive patient sentiment. This program unveils the true power of online ratings and reviews management and what you can do to proactively manage your online reputation.

Recruiting Physician Leadership for Health System Success is one of our most downloaded episodes. In case you missed it, we are running it once more.
When it comes to big organizational changes, consulting with physician leaders is a critical factor for short-term and long-term success. “I have seen physician engagement serve as an essential ingredient for any major initiative that's being developed and ultimately implemented by a health system,” says Medical Advantage Executive Consultant Monty Pate, our guest for this episode.

Every decision is consequential to the success of a health system. When project managers or private equity firms move ahead without input from physician leaders, they lack key information to make the best-informed decisions. Enlisting physician leadership is a beneficial change agent for the direction of major change.

When should you approach physicians for insights? Which physicians should you approach and how should you approach them? In this episode of the Medical Advantage Podcast hosted by Technology Consultant Celina DeFigueiredo-Dusseau, we answer all these questions and provide guidance on how to navigate this invaluable relationship with physician leadership.
Monty Pate covers the intricacies and best practices regarding this cooperative relationship, plus real-world examples of the effectiveness of physician leadership.
