The new platform claims to offer a complete physician workflow and analytics tool that helps providers track the data that's so important for succeeding in value-based reimbursement.

Julie Williamson, PhD, kicked off HFMA ANI 2016 Sunday night urging those in healthcare to find that sweet spot where they are actively embracing their organization's core competencies but at the same time incorporating what is changing the market, and the world, around them.

Running its own health plan has allowed this Wisconsin system to design a homemade value-based reimbursement model.

HFMA: The Healthcare Financial Management Association has named Richard D. Schrock, as the recipient of the 2016 Frederick C. Morgan Individual Achievement Award. HFMA announced the award as part of ANI 2016 in Las Vegas.

At its 2016 ANI event, the Healthcare Financial Management Association on Sunday named 150 healthcare providers as leaders for adopting best practices when it comes to patient financial communications, an important benchmark as patient financial responsibility rises.

Higher numbers of payers and practice managers coming to the show, underscoring the need for collaboration in the face of volume-to-value shift.

As the industry shifts toward population health initiatives and new value-based reimbursement models with the twin goals of reducing total cost of care and improving quality of care, it requires infrastructure investment and development.

As value-based reimbursement becomes the norm, consumers demand better-quality care, and federal agencies put new regulations in place, provider executives are feeling the impact. And perhaps no leader feels the effects of these changes more so than the chief financial officer.

The federal government is already pushing providers towards more risk, so it's not surprising that many are going all in by sponsoring a health plan.
