October 14, 2008

Stark Offers Bill to Hasten e-record Adoption | modernhealthcare.com

This will soon be the best time in history to be selling Healthcare IT software and services. More money will be spent in the next three years than ever before. It may not be the best time for the staff at many hospitals. The staff are woefully unprepared for a quantum leap in Healthcare Technology.

Aging Baby Boomers Will Drive Demand for Healthcare Properties Over Next Decade, Grubb & Ellis Report Reveals | www.bio-medicine.org

For one reason, this industry has outperformed the commercial average for the most recent eight years. Secondly, demographics are driving medical services. More of the population is aging.

February 6, 2008

Yes, WalMart has a large pool of patients. And there are competitive advantages with regard to the convenience of a pharmacy and over the counter remedies. However, having patients is only one piece of the puzzle. The business of medicine is more complex than merely having patients or customers.

Repayments to Medicare May Be Too Much to Ask

December 3, 2007

Medicare | Some Hospices Forced To Repay Medicare for Exceeding Reimbursement Limits as Patients Live Longer Than Expected | www.kaisernetwork.org

The government has paid hundreds of millions less as a result of these measures. Now, the government has targeted the Hospice industry. Of course, there is no physician that can predict how long a patient will live. Physicians sign orders for Hospice patients that are terminal. The physician cannot know how many days of Hospice care will be provided. Much of the Hospice care is provided in a patient’s home and not in an acute care hospital or skilled nursing facility.
