For years we've heard about the benefits of moving away from Fee for Service care in the US to a world of Value Based Health Care - but that transition has been slower than anyone could have anticipated. Even though it's not always at the top of the news at this moment in history, it's encouraging to know that real, positive change is happening to enable that transition to be much easier for providers ... and reducing the doctor's documentation time by 10 minutes per patient in the process! Greg and Tanjina dive deep into what makes Value Based Health Care so hard - but mostly about how those obstacles can be conquered through strong technology and even better change management.
