Dermatology is moving toward outcome-based measurement, but the systems to capture patient outcomes (especially through EHRs or mobile tools) are still difficult and costly to implement, according to Marta J. Van Beek, M.D., M.P.H., a dermatologic surgeon at University of Iowa Health Care and a clinical professor at the university’s Carver College of Medicine.
She recently attended the 2026 American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting in Denver, where she spoke at several sessions, including ‘Data-Driven Dermatology: Mastering MIPS and Improving Practice Quality’ and Advocacy in Dermatology with the Experts: Intersections to Safeguard the Specialty.’
Van Beek met with Managed Healthcare Executive before the conference to talk about healthcare finance reform.
During this part of the conversation, Van Beek discusses the potential changes and improvements to performance measures for dermatologists.
