In this episode of the Move to Value Podcast, we take a deep dive into one of the most impactful updates in healthcare risk adjustment: the transition from CMS-HCC Version 24 to Version 28. Our guest, TaSonya Hughes, CHESS Health Solutions' Manager of Coding and Documentation Education, explains what the shift means for providers, coding teams, and care managers—and why now is the critical time to prepare.CMS-HCC Version 28 introduces new disease classification categories, retires thousands of existing diagnosis codes, and emphasizes greater specificity in clinical documentation. TaSonya walks us through how these changes affect Medicare risk adjustment, the financial sustainability of value-based care, and ultimately, the ability to deliver accurate, coordinated care for patients with complex chronic conditions.
In this episode of The Move to Value Podcast, guests Jennifer Houlihan and Jennifer Gasperini join us for a deep and wide-ranging conversation on the evolving landscape of value-based care. We explore North Carolina's leadership in Medicaid transformation, the critical role of provider voice, and the infrastructure needed to support long-term success.From navigating administrative burdens to anticipating federal policy shifts, we also discuss how health systems can stay nimble, build smarter data strategies, and engage patients in more meaningful ways. Whether you're a provider, policymaker, or system leader, this episode offers timely insight into where healthcare is headed—and what it will take to get there.
CMS Changes and the Future of Value-Based CareJennifer Houlihan and Jennifer Gasperini of Advocate Health discuss the impact of new CMS and CMMI leadership, current challenges in value-based care, and the future of ACOs, ECQMs, and Medicare Advantage. A timely conversation for anyone navigating the evolving policy landscape.Welcome to the Move to Value Podcast, powered by CHESS Health Solutions.In this episode, we're joined by Jennifer Houlihan, Vice President, and Jennifer Gasparini, Director of Policy, from Advocate Health's Population Health Team. Together, we unpack the implications of the recent administration change, explore what new leadership at CMS could mean for value-based care, and hear their perspectives on the legislative priorities they hope to see take shape.Thomas Royal Jennifer Houlihan, Jennifer Gasparini, welcome to the move to Value podcast.Jennifer GasperiniThanks for having us.Jennifer Houlihan Happy to be here.Thomas Royal So you both just attended the NAACOS conference?Can you tell us what are some of the hot topics that folks were talking about?Jennifer GasperiniI can get us started.I think it's always great to see colleagues at the NAACOs conference and was also great to see Kim Brandt, who is the deputy administrator and COO at CMS, come and share some of Doctor Oz's priorities. For CMS and I think a lot of those priorities align really well with value based care. So they they really spoke a lot about tackling fraud and abuse. And as you know, ACOs are really the early identifiers of fraud.And so really was pleased to see them talking about that and also using technology and better data really for beneficiaries and providers to advance care. And I think ACOs obviously are very focused on that goal as well.Jennifer, do you have anything else to add there?Jennifer Houlihan Yeah. There, in addition, there were some really good sessions on the new team model, the transferring Episode Accountability model as well as guide and a lot of thoughtful conversation around how to integrate these models into the ACO and a clearer path for outcomes there. So I think there was a great discussion and got to give kudos to Jennifer. She was part of a really well attended and fantastic panel on how ACOs are adapting ECQMs and MIPCQMs and some of the kind of demands and multiple issues that are impacting ACOs on how to do all payer adjustments leveraging some of these requirements. So a lot of really timely topics and I think then the kind of final was Specialty Care integration, I think continued to be a recurring topic that we need to think more deeply about that and and how those get nested within cost, so hopefully we'll see more about that in the future.Thomas Royal So there is new leadership in place at HHS, CMS and CMMI.What does NAACOS think this might signal for the future of value-based care?Jennifer HoulihanSure, I I can. I can jump in on that one first, so I think you know, looking at Abe Sutton, you know, as as Jennifer mentioned, Kim Brandt was there from CMS. But we've also seen with Abe Sutton's appointment, who's been a strong supporter of value-based care. I think the mood was mostly positive, that there has been sort of a lot of statements, whether it's in some of the confirmation hearings, or direct statements that value-based care and the need to achieve savings is is one of the priorities. I think there's gonna be some different thinking about more aggressive requirements for more savings and as as as we've seen already, some of the model review that's already taking place. The ability to kind of end models early if they're not achieving the outcomes and the savings. So I think the mood in...

Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast. And my guest today is Marcus Hamaker, the CEO of [bu:st] USA, a consulting firm that helps you simplify your projects, optimize your processes and streamline your organization. He is also the host of The Pursuit of Value Podcast. Marcus, welcome to the show. Hey, Steve, how are you? Thanks for having me. Yeah, I am super pumped to have you. It's going to be a great episode and we are going to start as usual with the 'Why', because that's what powers great entrepreneurs. They have a strong 'Why'. So what is your personal 'Why', Marcus, and what are you doing to manifest it in [bu:st] or any of your businesses? Yeah. So, my personal 'Why' is just to make companies better. Ever since I was younger, growing up in the family business, watching my dad work hard. I'm very intrigued by business and it's really interesting to me why one business can succeed exponentially and another business really struggles to get off the ground. And so what we do at [bu:st] USA, what my podcast is about, The Pursuit of Value, is really helping small businesses be better.Share on X Real simple. And I also believe that small business has the power to change the world. I believe that business is and can be the greatest force for good in the world today because of just the entity and the formation of it. Also, not only what you can do with your employees internally, but how you can embrace the environment that you're in. Wherever that's in Italy, whether it's here in the United States, you have the ability and the responsibility and the opportunity to impact wherever your business sits. And so I really love small business. Yeah. And small businesses are always exposed to market forces and there's no way to take it easy and you always have to strive to be competitive and make a profit and definitely is a powerful force for reducing waste. And I'm making this point because one of the things that [bu:st] does is to apply Lean principles. Tell me a little bit about the [bu:st] method that your company, your group developed, and how do you bring in Lean? Yeah, so when we talk about Lean, it really has to do with value and it has to do with defining what is valuable to the company. So what's valuable to a manufacturer might be very different to what's valuable to a service company, right? So in our [bu:st] method, we always want to start with defining the future picture. What is success to that company? Or more simply, what is the solution to the problem that they're running into? So you define the future picture, you define the targets, you build the roadmap. And through that whole process of defining the value, you also want to throw out what's not valuable. And that's where it lines up with Lean. And we always really try to focus on making every step, every process as efficient as possible. And that's what's really important. And that's what we do really well at [bu:st] USA.
