Definition

A cognitive bias refers to a systematic pattern of deviation from norm or rationality in judgment, whereby inferences about other people and situations may be drawn in an illogical fashion. Individuals create their own “subjective social reality” from their perception of the input.

“Robo-Examiners” Let Adult-Learners Take Control

The concept of a self-taught and student motivated, but automated outcomes driven classroom may seem like a nightmare scenario for those who are not comfortable with computers. Now everyone can breathe a sigh of relief, because the Institute of Medical Business Advisors just launched an “automated” final examination review protocol that requires no programming skill whatsoever.

In fact, everything is designed to be very simple and easy to use. Once a student’s examination “blue-book” is received, computerized “robotic reviewers” correct student assignments and quarterly test answers. This automated examination model lets the robots correct tests and exams, while the students concentrate on guided self-learning.

According to Eugene Schmuckler PhD MBA MEd, Dean of the CERTIFIED MEDICAL PLANNER® professional designation and certification program,

“This option allows the modern adult-learner save both time and money as s/he progresses toward the ultimate goal of board certification as a CMP® mark holder.”

The trend is growing and iMBA, Inc., is leading the way.

HEDGE FUNDS – A History Rooted in Medicine?

Posted on June 14, 2017 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA

HEDGE FUNDS – Really Rooted in Medicine?

By Dr. David E. Marcinko MBA CMP™

http://www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org

The investment profession has come a long way since the door-to-door stock salesmen of the 1920s sold a willing public on worthless stock certificates. The stock market crash of 1929 and ensuing Great Depression of the 1930s forever changed the way investment operations are run. A bewildering array of laws and regulations sprung up, all geared to protecting the individual investor from fraud. These laws also set out specific guidelines on what types of investment can be marketed to the general public – and allowed for the creation of a set of investment products specifically not marketed to the general public.

These early-mid 20th century lawmakers specifically exempted from the definition of “general public,” for all practical purposes, those investors that meet certain minimum net worth guidelines. The lawmakers decided that wealth brings the sophistication required to evaluate, either independently or together with wise counsel, investment options that fall outside the mainstream.

Not surprisingly, an investment industry catering to such wealthy individuals, such as doctors and healthcare professionals, and qualifying institutions has sprung up.

Risk Management Liability Insurance and Asset Protection Strategies for Doctors and Advisors

It is not uncommon for practicing physicians to have more than a dozen separate insurance policies to protect their medical practice and personal assets. Yet, most doctors understand very little about their policies.

The book RISK MANAGEMENT, LIABILITY INSURANCE AND ASSET PROTECTION STRATEGIES for DOCTORS and ADVISORS [Best Practices from Leading Consultants and Certified Medical Planners™] explains to physicians and insurance professionals the background, theory, and practicalities of medical risk management, asset protection methods, and insurance planning.

The text presents information in a manner that is convenient and highly useful for busy medical practitioners. It discusses the medical records revolution and addresses concerns regarding cloud computing, data security, and technological threats.

The book covers modern health law and policy, including fraud and abuse, workplace-violence, Medicare compliance, HIPAA regulations, AR protection strategies with internal controls, P4P and value based care, insurance and reputation management, and how the ARA legislation is impacting physician practices.

It also includes case models and examples that provide you with a real-world understanding of how to recognize and reduce personal and medical practice risks.

With time at a premium for all, and so much information packed into one well-organized resource, this book is a must-read for every physician and financial advisor that serves the health care sector. The book will help physicians make better decisions about the risks they face and will help financial advisors improve the value they provide to their clients who are doctors.

Letters to Trump – Continue Focus on Value-Based Payment

Posted on April 12, 2017 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA

Two Letters to Trump from Healthcare Leaders – Continue Focus on Value-Based Payment

By Robert James Cimasi MHA CMP™

Health Capital Consultants, Inc

                                             ***

In December 2016 and January 2017, over 100 leading healthcare organizations sent two letters to President Donald Trump and Vice President Michael Pence lobbying the Trump Administration to continue the shift in healthcare reimbursement from volume-based to value-based payment models.
***
The expansion of the number and scope of value-based reimbursement programs following the 2010 passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) is in keeping with the national strategy regarding healthcare reimbursement in the landmark legislation; most notably the fourth priority established by the ACA, i.e., to “…improve Federal payment policy to emphasize quality and efficiency…“
***
However, in light of the criticism of many in the Trump Administration regarding value-based reimbursement models, most notably Tom Price, M.D., the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), many healthcare delivery organizations felt compelled to advocate for continued implementation of such payment systems, and acted by sending the above referred letters to the new administration.
***
Assessment

This Health Capital Topics article summarizes the contents of those two letters received by the Trump Administration, and discusses how this advocacy fits into the current uncertainty surrounding healthcare reform. (Read more…)

Courts Examine Use of Statistical Sampling in False Claims Act Cases

Posted on April 6, 2017 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA

Courts Examine Use of Statistical Sampling in False Claims Act Cases 

By Robert James Cimasi MHA CMP™
***
The False Claims Act (FCA) continues to grow in strength as the federal government and relators increase their use of the law to recover billions of dollars from companies that violate the Act’s provisions. Developments in the application and interpretation of the FCA, particularly in regard to the issue of statistical sampling in proving damages, may significantly influence the regulatory risk to healthcare enterprises, in light of the significant volume of recoveries received by the government under this law for healthcare fraud and abuse violations.
***
In recent months, interpretation of the FCA influenced the outcome of two prominent healthcare fraud and abuse cases: (1) U.S. ex rel. Michaels v. Agape Senior Community (Agape), originating in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina and heard by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit; and, (2) U.S. ex rel. Ruckh v. Genoa Healthcare Consulting, Inc. (Genoa), in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The cases, both of which explored the utilization of statistical sampling in proving damages under the FCA, leave unclear the standards associated with the admissibility of expert testimony in this context.
***
Assessment
***
This Health Capital Topics article summarizes the Agape and Genoa cases, and discusses the role that statistical sampling may play in future FCA actions. (Read more…)
