For organizations that manage hundreds of thousands of lives, the ability to present “the full story” of each patient – and do it in a way that doesn’t interrupt the care process – is imperative, according to GRIPA’s leaders, who shared their story in a recent webinar.

It’s not about criticizing MACRA, but about opening up a true dialogue about how to evolve from fee-for-service to fee-for-volume, says CIO John Halamka, who offers practical ideas on how to move forward.
