After months of controversy over the CMS Global and Professional Direct Contracting (GPDC) model from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI), CMS announced Feb. 24 that, starting in 2023, the program would be transformed into the Accountable Care Organization (ACO) Realizing Equity, Access and Community Health (REACH) model, or ACO REACH. Its participants would be called ACOs instead of Direct Contracting Entities (DCE) (PBN 2/28/22, 3/7/22).   [Read More](https://blog.healthmonix.com/media-coverage/aco-reach-tweaks-help-smaller-group-practices-promote-health-equity) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.healthmonix.com/media-coverage/aco-reach-tweaks-help-smaller-group-practices-promote-health-equity#comments-listing) Topics: [CMS](https://blog.healthmonix.com/media-coverage/topic/cms), [ACO Reach](https://blog.healthmonix.com/media-coverage/topic/aco-reach), [Health equity](https://blog.healthmonix.com/media-coverage/topic/health-equity) ## [Shared Savings ACOs get a year off from electronic clinical quality measures](https://blog.healthmonix.com/media-coverage/shared-savings-acos-get-a-year-off-from-electronic-clinical-quality-measures) Posted by [Healthmonix](https://blog.healthmonix.com/media-coverage/author/healthmonix) on Aug 5, 2021, 11:28:36 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.healthmonix.com/hubfs/Part_B_News_Thumbnail.jpg)](https://blog.healthmonix.com/media-coverage/shared-savings-acos-get-a-year-off-from-electronic-clinical-quality-measures) by Roy Edroso After their first year of using the Alternative Payment Model (APM) Performance Pathway (APP) reporting method, participants in the Shared Savings program are spared further challenges as CMS delays the full transition to electronic clinical quality measures (eCQM) and MIPS clinical quality measures (MIPS CQM) and scales back some program requirements.  [Read More](https://blog.healthmonix.com/media-coverage/shared-savings-acos-get-a-year-off-from-electronic-clinical-quality-measures) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.healthmonix.com/media-coverage/shared-savings-acos-get-a-year-off-from-electronic-clinical-quality-measures#comments-listing) Topics: [CMS](https://blog.healthmonix.com/media-coverage/topic/cms), [Healthmonix](https://blog.healthmonix.com/media-coverage/topic/healthmonix), [ACOs](https://blog.healthmonix.com/media-coverage/topic/acos), [APM Performance Pathway](https://blog.healthmonix.com/media-coverage/topic/apm-performance-pathway) ## [DrChrono Podcast - Interview with Lauren Patrick of Healthmonix](https://blog.healthmonix.com/media-coverage/drchrono-podcast-on-the-health-record-interview) Posted by [Healthmonix](https://blog.healthmonix.com/media-coverage/author/healthmonix) on Oct 1, 2020, 3:00:00 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.healthmonix.com/hubfs/dr%20chrono.jpg)](https://blog.healthmonix.com/media-coverage/drchrono-podcast-on-the-health-record-interview) In our recent interview with Lauren Patrick, we discuss her journey into computer science and subsequently healthcare technology.

The newest iteration, the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), has similar goals but focuses on value not volume while saving money for CMS by making it more difficult for clinicians to obtain bonuses while raising penalties.
