Download Slides Our last two webinars focused on accountable automation and a real-world Palm Beach ACO use case. In this session, we’d like to take the discussion one level higher and focus on the broader operating model ACOs will need as AI becomes more integrated into value-based care. The session would explore how ACOs…
Sixty percent of health plans are screening for social determinants of health, but gaps in how they use that information for maternal health still persist. Healthcare consulting firm Sage Growth Partners surveyed 50 health plan leaders and 300 recently pregnant women, as well as their caregivers, for a Sept. 9 report. About three-quarters of the health plan…
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh searched three databases on March 20 for work on how ambient artificial intelligence (AI) scribes are being implemented. They screened 1,333 results and were left with 27 articles. Thirteen were empirical studies. The narrative review, published Sept. 3 in BMJ Digital Health & AI, mapped those articles against the Non-Adoption,…
Download Slides As CMS moves toward outcome-based payment for chronic care at national scale, the next two model years give ACOs a period to build their own outcomes and utilization data before those expenditures affect benchmark calculations. CMS’s ACCESS Model went live in July 2026, bringing outcome-aligned payment for technology-supported chronic care into…
The technology can make clinical documentation mistakes that can be hard to detect, leading to potential medical errors and lawsuits as health systems increase their use. Lured by promises of time savings and more face-to-face interactions with patients, a growing number of doctors are using artificial intelligence-backed scribes for clinical documentation. But experts say there’s…
Primary care already has a pipeline problem. Medical Economics reported that the 2026 residency match offered 5,491 family medicine positions but filled 83.6% of them, leaving 899 unfilled and prompting a new review of the specialty’s growth and sustainability. Those family medicine match results should sharpen the way practices think about artificial intelligence (AI), which can help physicians recover…
CMS and state Medicaid agencies should consider several factors related to the ACO LEAD (ACO Long-Term Enhanced Design) model’s proposed test of integrated Medicare-Medicaid ACOs. Dual-eligible beneficiaries account for a disproportionate share of Medicare and Medicaid spending owing to their complex medical, behavioral, and social needs. Care for this population presents multiple challenges, in part, because Medicare…
When I was growing up, my aunts in Montevideo had a code for emergencies: Call Yosi. My seide Simón — my grandfather — would resist seeing a doctor, resist the hospital most of all, especially when my father was traveling, and someone had to talk him into going. Even then, I understood him. Nothing about…
Download Slides AI is moving into clinical workflows faster than many provider organizations can evaluate it. For leaders comparing HCC coding software, clinical AI tools, and point-of-care solutions, the challenge is determining which technology will genuinely improve documentation and gap capture without creating more work for physicians. In this session, Dr. Sunil Nihalani, practicing…
Download Slides Join leadership from Altitude Cares for an AI clinical case review on complex-chronic transitions-of-care and the value impact of AI-native-services enabled workflow on medical group economics to serve those patients. Presenter:Dr. Brett Ives, Chief Clinical Officer, Altitude Cares
Fifty-three percent of American adults feel as though they either have “not too much” or no control over the use of artificial intelligence in their healthcare, a new survey found. Moreover, 63% of respondents polled by the Pew Research Center report that they would like more say over whether AI is used in their care….
Here’s how finance leaders can evaluate AI investments in revenue cycle management before committing budget, and the risk exposure most vendor pitches leave out. Every healthcare CFO’s inbox now has an AI-in-RCM pitch in it. The promises are consistent: lower denial rates, faster collections, leaner overhead. What’s inconsistent is the due diligence behind the decision…
