2016: A year of change for healthcare finance

摘要

It's safe to say the ICD-10 transition occupied the minds of many throughout 2015, dominating the conversation among healthcare finance professionals. While the buzz around ICD-10 has begun to settle down, other topics in healthcare finance are on the rise. Medicare is enforcing payment revisions and shifting its reimbursement model, and some of the largest commercial payers are questioning their participation in Affordable Care Act exchanges. And analyzing data has become increasingly necessary as many healthcare organizations struggle to improve revenues. While the impact of ICD-10 is still playing out, more changes are on the way, and health organizations will begin to uncover new areas to improve overall efficiencies and quality of care in 2016.
