"With the publication of the Medicare Shared Savings Program Final
Rule in October, the end of Don Berwick's tenure at CMS in November, and
the announcement of Pioneer ACO participants in December, we have
reached the end of a chapter in the quest for a more value-based health
care system. The next chapter is implementation, and the single greatest
challenge will be to show enough progress fast enough." Doug Hastings,
Chair of the Board of Directors, Epstein, Becker & Green, P.C. |
