How OR Integration Technology Can Help Surgeons Thrive under MACRA
The transition to value-based payments has always been especially challenging for surgeons. The text, video, imaging, and monitoring data they need to work effectively in the OR is typically siloed in multiple systems, making it difficult for surgeons to obtain all the information they need in one view when making critical decisions that affect clinical and financial outcomes. With the passage of Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA), which includes the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and Advanced Alternative Payment Model (APM), the stakes are even higher.
This white paper explains how data-driven OR integration can help surgeons to manage risk, quality and cost more effectively by capturing and centralizing all pertinent data about a given procedure, including the patient’s medical history and health risks. It then shows how displaying this information in one place (an interactive dashboard) within the OR can yield multiple benefits for surgeons and provider organizations.
