Healthcare

What trends does Astadia see in the Healthcare industry?

Here's what's troubling healthcare leaders in today's fast-changing environment: 

  • Regulatory mandates like HIPAA to comply with, the move toward electronic health records (EHRs) to reduce paperwork and clinical errors, the need to build robust patient portals, and implementation of other emerging technologies that can benefit healthcare companies in particular.  
  • A national system of patient records is central to Obama’s plan to overhaul health care. The legislation would make doctors eligible for $40,000 to $65,000 grants if they begin using health information technology. Healthcare providers would be eligible for millions more in Medicaid and Medicare payments. Penalties for those who fail to adopt the systems would start in 2014.  
  • STARK compliance is a growing focus for healthcare providers – legislation limits the ability to provide gifts/entertainment to doctors.  
  • Payer Mix. Healthcare providers increasingly dedicate resources and technology to improving the payer mix.  
  • Referrals. Increasing physician referrals requires business improvement throughout the organization -- not simply a marketing effort.
