Thank You Question 1 Among other provisions, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) dramatically changed the methodology for Medicare payments for health care services. Three of those changes included: • Ending the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) formula; • Creating a new framework to reward care providers for better health care services; and • Combining pre-existing quality reporting programs into a single, new system. Please choose one of the above changes, explain it, and analyze its interaction with health information technology and informatics. Questions 2 The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, enacted as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), is well known as the law that authorized the funded federal incentives for “Meaningful Use” of electronic health record (EHR) systems in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The broader aim of HITECH, however, was to promote electronic movement and use of health information among organizations using nationally recognized interoperability standards, which remains a national challenge. While not as wellknown as the EHR incentive payments, HITECH also authorized $564 million in funding to the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), with the goal of facilitating the development of nationwide health information exchange (HIE). The State HIE Cooperative Agreement Program was created to achieve this goal through state-level solutions. Organizations in all 56 states and territories received funding and ongoing ONC guidance for development and implementation of their plans during the four-year program. NORC at the University of Chicago evaluated the program in the March 2016 report (Links to an external site.) included in this week’s reading materials. The NORC report concludes that the HITECH funding created and expanded HIE in terms of services infrastructure as well as supporting legal, and policy structures. While none of the state HIE strategies presented a cookie-cutter solution, certain common factors favorably impact HIE development. In the interests of sharing a path forward for future HIE grantees, state and federal policy makers, and other stakeholders tasked with continuing HIE development and interoperability, what lessons learned from the NORC report would you bring to their attention?

QUESTION 1
Creating a new framework to reward care providers for better health care services is one
of the Medicare payment methodologies introduced due to implementation of the Medicare
Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA). MACRA aims at transforming healthcare to
have a better system and services; this prompted the changes that were made on the methodology
for Medicare payments (CMS. gov.2015). One of the major changes is creating a new model of
providing healthcare services by using modern health information technology to create a
healthcare information database for ensuring efficiency and a merit base payment program in the
healthcare system to reward care providers for better health care services.
Health and Human services department set new goals for Alternative Payment Models
(APMs) and value-based payments in healthcare. The first goal is to make sure that by the end of
the year 2015, medical payments should have been tied to value or quality with the help of
alternative payment models (APMs) and increase up to 50% by the close of 2018. The second
goal is to en...
