Quality and Cost are two fundamental focus areas in the Volume to Value-Based Care transition.  The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), seeks to incentivize higher quality care at a lower cost through programs like MIPS.  In recent years, the primary focus of MIPS has been Quality reporting, however Quality and Cost will be equally weighted in 2022.  Mandated increases and lack of insight into current MIPS scores make it a top priority for practices to learn how Cost impacts their revenue.

COVID-19 has presented clinicians with many new challenges that are transforming the entire care delivery model.  It is crucial for health IT companies to do everything possible to support clients with navigating these rapid changes and keeping patients healthy.  Strategic integration partnerships are an extremely effective method to provide clinicians with a reliable network that is packed with the resources needed to provide quality care.  By working together, health IT organizations will play a vital role in overcoming the challenges and adjustments brought forth by the COVID-19 pandemic.
