Palliative Care ECHO Lunch & Learn with Brittany D’Angelo, Julie Diner & Natalie McGuigan - Wednesday May 15 12noon-1pm on ZOOM https://lnkd.in/gJX6Kwke In this session, members of the Palliative Advocacy Care Team (PACT) & Palliative Carelink will discuss how health and social care workers can adopt approaches to care that recognize and adapt to the social and structural determinants of health. The goal of this session is to challenge providers to re-think traditional models of care, and pursue practices that meet unmet needs of structurally vulnerable populations. Learning objectives: Explore what it means to take an equity-informed approach to care Review the concepts of harm reduction, trauma-informed care, and cultural safety Identify barriers to care and resources for vulnerably housed clients who could benefit from a palliative approach to care

While the Jewish Healthcare Foundation is advancing healthcare innovation, advocacy, collaboration, and education in the interest of better population health, they've also improved financial reporting with MIP Here's what they had to say about MIP, via TrustRadius:

Huge concerns with these new CPT codes. Unless the codes reimburse just as much as other CPT codes or more than other CPT codes, this actually has the potential to harm outpatient providers by REDUCING their overall reimbursement. For example, we may now be required to use this CPT code when providing programs like Skills2Care instead of let's say a self-care code, which may reimburse more. It also causes huge challenges and possible concerns for those of us doing consulting. I've been sharing these concerns with AOTA representatives for about 3 years. This is only a win if these codes reimburse well - and considering there are more proposed cuts to Med B for 2024, I'm not feeling overly confident. We need to support the providers of these services and advocate for reimburse rates that reflect our skill.
