Preparing for the Debate and a TV Audience
By Staff Reporters
In convening today’s bipartisan health session, President Obama is angling to recreate the kind of spontaneous, unscripted debate that gave him a decided advantage when he took questions on live television at a House Republican retreat in Baltimore Maryland, last month.

Allscripts’ Glen Tullman has sudden press releases.
Today, someone is suddenly spending thousands of dollars on press releases for Glen Tullman, CEO of Allscripts [eMRs]. Why? Is he posturing for Congress, or is someone protecting his SEO from bad news that’s on the way?

And the Oscar goes to …
In Washington around the Capitol beltway, it is often said that there is policy, and then there is politics. Today, at the so-called “Healthcare Summit”, we saw the later and not the former.
On the policy front, there was the same tired exchange of issues we’ve seen since the last presidential election. That’s no surprise since there is no evidence of bi-partisanship in these two houses, nor room for any kind of compromise.
What we did see today was high politics and political theater from, dare I say it … a bunch of thespians. Pity, there are no Academy Award Oscar nominations for politicians!

Well said. Here is a synopsis of the Healthcare Summit from the WSJ.

New Proposals
So, Obama’s new proposals after the healthcare summit are:
1. sending investigators disguised as patients to uncover fraud and waste;
2. expanding medical malpractice reform pilot programs;
3. increasing payments to Medicaid providers, and;
4. expanding the use of health savings accounts.
Too little, too late!

Cliff and Dr. Pruitt,
Health plans, politicians and the public should try to control both medical and administrative costs by driving down expenses and by fundamentally changing behavior. Many of us are looking for help from new products and technologies.
Furthermore, today’s market environment now requires solutions that solve the more advanced payment issues facing insurers and government agencies, including:
• Global bundling
• Capitation and micro-capitation
• Episodes of care
• Value pricing for outcomes payment
• Complicated calculations across claims
We must also end the epidemic of diagnostic testing that leads no where, repeated testing and the lack of data and medical records communications that is HIPAA.
