  "The biggest challenge to industry right now is we’re still living in a world of multiple payment models where provider organizations are still receiving a very large percentage of their payments through the old fee-for-service system, which doesn’t necessarily incentivize value.”
- James Landman, director of healthcare finance policy at HFMA, from HealthcareDIVE
 
Factoid
