Healthcare Industry Shifts to Value-Based Reimbursement as New Standard
Value-based reimbursement is now the norm for ACOs and physician practices, highlighting the vital role of CDI specialists, medical coders, and utilization management in improving care and reimbursement. The rise of AI in clinical documentation urges CDI providers to innovate for next-gen healthcare workflows. Dublin, May 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Clinical Documentation Integrity in North America, 2025: Frost Radar Report" report has been added to the healthcare industry shifts from a fee-for-service to a fee-for-value model, value-based reimbursement is becoming the standard for accountable care organizations (ACOs), independent physician practices, and non-ACO entities. This transition underscores the essential role of clinical documentation integrity (CDI) specialists, medical coders, and utilization management staff in enhancing care personalization; mitigating adverse events, such as medication reconciliation errors; and improving reimbursement efficiency.

Free PPE available for people at higher risk of bird flu
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Bird flu, or the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), is widely present in Rhode Island's wild waterfowl, according to the Department of Environmental Management (DEM). The DEM told 12 News on Monday that it would likely collect dead birds if an entire flock dies, but the choice to remove a dead bird is largely left up to local animal control officers (ACOs). Dr. Maria Peterson, an assistant professor of animal and veterinary sciences at URI, said if ACOs have the proper personal protective equipment (PPE), it's not a bad idea to dispose of dead birds. 'If [the dead bodies] are being left out, and if they did have highly pathogenic avian influenza, then it could contaminate the environment,' she noted. Community Focus: How does bird flu spread? The Rhode Island Department of Health says animal health responders (those who handle sick or dead animals) are at higher risk when it comes to being exposed to HPAI. In its guide to handling dead birds, the Health Department and DEM advise animal health responders to wear disposable gloves, N95 masks, eye protection and outer work gloves. The guide says birds' bodies should be double-bagged, and the bags should also be sprayed with an EPA-registered antimicrobial product that's effective against HPAI. Once a bird is disposed of, the guide says animal health responders should wash their shoes and clothing too as HPAI spreads easily on contaminated surfaces. RELATED: Bird flu found in southern RI farm flock Through a collaboration between the DEM, Health Department and the R.I. Emergency Management Agency, free PPE is available to anyone who works in areas with higher risk of being exposed to HPAI, including ACOs and farmers. You can submit a PPE request form by clicking here. There could be some hope on the horizon, as the DEM predicts there will be a decline in wild bird deaths in the future. 'At the national level, a significant decline in H5N1 cases typically occurs in the summer, likely because migratory birds have reached their nesting sites, and the hot, dry summer weather helps to break down the virus in the environment,' DEM spokesperson Evan LaCross explained.
