According to a report from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), by 2034 the United States could see a shortage of between 37,800 and 124,000 primary care and specialty physicians. This negatively impacts the entire healthcare ecosystem. ☑ Longer wait times for appointments ☑ Decreased access as doctors cannot accept new patients ☑ Physician burnout ☑ Rising healthcare costs Addressing the physician shortage will require coordinated efforts across the industry, and improving physician recruitment strategies is key.

86% of physicians report facing a high or extremely high burden due to prior authorization. Prior authorization poses a significant challenge for physicians and senior living facilities, with over 90% of physicians reporting that it delays patient access to necessary care. While prior authorizations are intended to ensure the appropriate utilization of drugs and services, the process is often burdensome, lacks transparency, and can negatively impact patient care, according to physicians. Streamlining or eliminating the burdens of prior authorizations is critical to reducing administrative work and allowing physicians to focus on direct patient care. KGiS can help you navigate this challenge and return to what matters most: providing excellent patient care with faster turnaround times and reduced write-offs and denials.

The Alliance for Value-Based Patient Care calls on Congress to further boost incentives and put patients first. The extension of Medicare’s incentive in Congress’ latest spending package is a positive signal that value-based care remains a bipartisan priority amid unyielding fiscal constraints. However, the package cuts the incentive for providers in advanced alternative payment models by nearly half, jeopardizing a decade’s worth of gains in quality and cost savings. Transforming U.S. healthcare into a higher performing, lower cost system requires consistent incentives from year-to-year that allow providers to invest in people and technology to ➡️Coordinate patient care ➡️Improve patient outcomes ➡️Reduce spending Read the statement from Alliance spokesperson Soumi Saha, senior vice president, Premier Inc.: https://bit.ly/49FM59P #Medicare #ValueBasedCare #Congress #APM
