Dear Reader,
Atrómitos is honored to have sponsored the Insightful Discussion “Straight Talk on Tech: Implementing IT in Health Care." We are grateful to the panel that participated in this critical and timely discussion.
It is no longer enough for physicians and other health care providers to only rely on their hard-won clinical expertise and experience in delivering care. As the health care system moves (in some cases gets dragged, pushed, or pulled) towards value-based care, it is apparent that effective data aggregation and analysis (and thus technology) are essential. This means providers cannot engage in meaningful quality of care analytics, population health delivery, and value-based payment without a full informatics suite.

In 2015, the North Carolina General Assembly enacted legislation that would fundamentally change the Medicaid program in North Carolina. Since then, the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services has worked to design a transformation model that would move the administration of the program into risk-based comprehensive managed care, shift greater responsibility for population health management to primary care providers, and change the way that health care providers are paid in the Medicaid program.
After what feels like an eternity, Medicaid Transformation will begin July 1, 2021. Yes, it actually will. I know there are some eye rolls out there and “yeah sures” but as far as we at Atromitos can tell, the Department is committed to this start date. We adamantly appeal to providers, Medicaid enrollees, and other stakeholders to educate yourselves on the transformation model and engage in the pr
