Slow Creeping Convergence

“That’s not my job”. This was a common refrain in healthcare when there was a clear separation between staff who treated patients and others who were responsible for billing. But as healthcare evolves further into value based care, the gap between billing rules and clinical care requirements is converging. In this first episode of 2022, we invite Megan Harkins to talk about the slow creeping convergence of billing and clinical rules and the impact this has on the various skills needed by the healthcare workforce. Buckle up folks, this episode dives into the bumpy road of change as the healthcare industry makes the shift from volume to value-based care.
