CMS Announces Medicare Data Roll-Out

Conclusion During her remarks on the subject, Administrator Verma tried to differentiate this new path in relation to previous efforts CMS has taken to move towards a value-based system. She noted, “…what is different now is that we know we can’t achieve value-based care until we put the patient at the center of our healthcare system. And that requires that we empower patients with the data they need to become a consumer of healthcare and make informed decisions. Ultimately, the cornerstone of a patient centered system is data, quality data, cost data, a patient’s own data.”       Related StoriesCMS Posts CY 2019 Notice and Call LetterData Analytics & Detecting Medicare Fraud – A Promising Idea Still Awaiting Proof of ConceptCMS Proposes Changes to Part D and Medicare Advantage
