MACRA and MIPS changed the healthcare reimbursement landscape beginning in 2016. Two years later, providers have largely adjusted to the new rules, are meeting the reporting requirements, and have now turned their attention to finding ways to improve their performance. In this episode of the eCW Podcast, host Adam Siladi and Pooja Shah, a senior analyst at eClinicalWorks, sort out what's new, what's changed, and what providers need to know in order to continue to succeed.
Michael Berg, CEO of Ancillary Medical Solutions and Vivien Hudson, pharmacist and Marketing Manager at Ancillary Medical Solutions discuss a variety of ancillary services that can help physicians boost their composite scores for MACRA and MIPS.

Mike Meikle, CEO of SecureHIM, describes the MACRA program and what it means for medical practices

"No-one on the Colony believes in Macra! There is no such thing as Macra! Macra do not exist! There are no Macra!!"
Well maybe stop going on about them so much then?
He's right though. This colony is lovely - except for the brainwashing, harrowing jingles, cheerless cheerleading, occupational hazards and the ministrations of hit security group, Ola and the Bootboys, that is.
Oh and the Macra, of course. Not that there are any Macra. Or are there...?
Well, yes there are, as the name of the story implies, and they're a crabby (and shouty) bunch of crustaceans, with their grubby pincers on the reins of power within the colony. Meanwhile, Ben goes over to the dark side, Polly gets a haircut, Jamie has a fling and the Doctor has a problem with excess gas.
But did Jim and Martin give The Macra Terror 11 out of 10? Or did it just wash over their brains?

The value-based care train is a comin’ – and estimates point to only 8% of all health systems as ready for the CMS’ changes in risk shifting and care payment. More than that - the quality of communication in transitioning patients into post-acute care is often dismal.
One medical expert recently stated the unsettling reality…that veterinarians often take more time in discharging pets, than care facilities do with their patients.
Today we speak with Clay Richards, the CEO of naviHealth - one of the major leaders in post-acute care coordination. His company’s network carries 20% of all hospital discharges nationally, and he’s here to share some major insight and solutions. It’s right here on Red Hot Healthcare.
In this episode Dr. Steve and Clay discuss:

This week Phil and Paul continue with their retrospective of series 3 with a look back at Gridlock. What will they make of this story after all this time and do they think it's a rollicking good adventure or a big disappointment? In making their minds up, they get into a bit of a disagreement over Martha Jones character and Paul spoils an otherwise lighthearted piece of banter concerning corpse disposal.
And in the news this week, there is plenty of update on the Mark Gatiss drama An Adventure in Space and Time, news of series 8 straight from the mouth of Steven Moffatt and in Omega's Tat Corner, Paul's lonely existence is called into question with his methods of seduction.
