Yesterday @CMSGov changed the name of the #MeaningfulUse EHR program to the “Promoting Interoperabilty” program & my only response after reading the rule today is to quote Wayne’s World: “Nice name...not!”

New @CMSGov data shows Medicare Advantage & ACOs now cover over 50% of all Medicare beneficiaries with both programs still growing

[Chris Emper @ChrisEmper]

Participation in Medicare’s largest ACO program up 17% on 1/1/18 & now covers 10.5 mil people, yesterday @CMSGov announces launch/expansion of new 5 yr bundle program...not sure why industry reports keep saying transition to value based care has slowed under Trump Admin? https://t.co/Sg9BKoH2ef

Enjoyed hearing from @CMSGov head at #ONC2017 in DC today and these two quotes- "EHRs are a good thing" and "CMS issues 11,000 pgs of regs/year"- explain my job better than I ever could! https://t.co/8AA09vYNSR
