Episode Synopsis

As healthcare technology has evolved, healthcare providers are spending less time focusing on the patient, and more time focusing on their computer or tablet screens. The rise of telemedicine has furthered that barrier, putting a screen between the provider and the patient and removing empathy from the patient visit.

For this reason, Dr. Baum and Jeffery believe artificial intelligence will never replace the provider-patient interaction. A patient entrusts a healthcare provider with sensitive, personal information, and in turn, the provider connects with the patient, providing personalized care.

In which instances do you think artificial intelligence could take over and improve the patient experience?

Episode Synopsis

CMS increased the RVUs for which they reimburse outpatient E/M services and decreased the conversion factor to remain budget neutral. The conversion factor cuts will affect reimbursement for all services in the fee schedule to increase reimbursement for more cognitive E/M services.

Organizations with RVU-based compensation plans need to revalue their wRVU rates to remain economically aligned with the fee schedule, especially if their provider compensation plans tie to wRVU values in the most recent Medicare Physician Fee Schedule.
