Bed blocking costs both patients and hospitals

MENA-based healthcare organizations are creating fully connected digital ecosystems and shifting to value-based care. Because of this, Mazin Gadir of Alvarez & Marsal says basic EMRs are no longer enough for these health systems.

The work of updating provider directories is the responsibility of payers, and much of it is still being done manually with mistakes incurring heavy penalties, says Megan Schmidt, CEO at Madaket Health.

Providers in six states face new financial risks and training burdens under mandatory WISeR review, which leverages machine learning to control costs and expedite care. It's going to be "a steep learning curve," says Jeff Ladner, CPO at Onspring.
