Health Data Management: Why EHRs need to evolve to meet needs of value-based care
MACRA and value-based care are going to revolutionize the healthcare industry. The days of fee-for-service are behind us. Unfortunately, most EHRs are behind in providing clinic owners and physicians the metrics they need in order to show that they are providing higher quality care at lower costs. This is where LRS is set apart from other traditional billing companies. LRS reporting and dashboard metrics can help you show value-based care that will help you navigate the new CMS MACRA rules and regulations while maximizing your bottom line.
