You can’t talk about Value Based Care without including CMS and the Center for Medicare in the conversation.  In many of the past episodes on VBC we repeatedly refer to Medicare.  Today we get their input with the help of Douglas Jacobs, MD, Chief Transformation Officer, Center for Medicare at the CMS.  I really appreciate CMS allowing this conversation to happen. Doug is going to help us understand what CMS is, more specifically what the Center for Medicare is, bundled payments, VBC, ACOs, The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, The council for technology and innovation, the importance of health equity and more.  We frequently relate these issues to MedTech. For anyone that wants to better understand the CMS and the Center for Medicare specifically, you will want to listen to this episode.
