In the last week, there has been a notable push towards value-based care, particularly reflected in the opening of a new physician-led orthopedic ambulatory surgery center (ASC) in Florida, which underscores the trend toward high-efficiency surgical procedures designed to enhance patient outcomes and reduce costs. Meanwhile, CMS is anticipated to play a critical role in accelerating the adoption of clinical AI technologies, as outlined by health tech firms, which could significantly improve care delivery across various settings, highlighting an evolving dynamic in leveraging technology for enhanced patient engagement and management, particularly in rare diseases as discussed in this AJMC article.
