Medical regulatory burdens can often get in the way of delivering quality care. Here's how the AMA is working to lighten the EHR load and provide regulatory relief to physicians.
Most doctors want to make new payment and delivery methods work. But we need the appropriate resources to help redesign the health care system. When physicians have data in a meaningful context and tools to act on it, they respond positively, and patient care improves.
Speaking at the AMA National Advocacy Conference, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell pointed to ways HHS is working to build a better, smarter health care system—which means receiving input from physicians.
Regulatory burdens, Medicare payment system, preventing type 2 diabetes, and provider networks are among the top 10 issues physicians should monitor in 2015.
The collective physician voice carried a lot of weight in 2014—both in the nation’s capital and in the state legislatures. Changes that took place covered a broad range of issues, including better access to care for veterans, increased graduate medical education (GME) funding and important updates to the electronic health record (EHR) meaningful use program.
A number of regulatory, public health and practice issues took center stage for the medical profession this year. See the 10 topics that made some of the biggest waves among the physician community in 2014—and learn how they played out.
Now that studies have made the reasons behind physicians’ professional satisfaction clear, it’s time to implement solutions that let physicians get back to doing what they want to do most—give high-quality care to patients.
The AMA urged the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to streamline the competing laws and regulations that threaten access to care in a letter. Physicians providing care to Medicare patients could face a “tsunami” of regulatory penalties over the next 10 years, potentially seeing payments cut by more than 13 percent by the end of the decade.
Assisting physicians in adopting new models of care and payment that will enhance quality and lower costs is the aim of a recent request for information from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner told doctors that the agency is working toward easing their burden and finding resources to help them transition to new care delivery and payment models.
