AI Summary — Last 30 Days
CMS is pushing health IT from “connectivity” toward operational accountability in VBC: the ACCESS model is adding wearables and AI-enabled chronic care vendors such as Oura and Counsel Health to test scalable remote monitoring and longitudinal engagement, while Medicaid quality efforts with 37 states are shifting measurement toward outcomes rather than checklist compliance. At the same time, implementation risk is rising as WISeR exposes delays and technical failures in AI-enabled prior authorization, and stakeholders including the AMA are pressing CMS to hold firm on electronic prior authorization deadlines—making interoperability, workflow integration, and governance core strategic risks for ACOs, Medicare Advantage plans, Medicaid agencies, and risk-bearing providers rather than back-office IT issues.
