With a history of transactional, often adversarial, fee-for-service contract negotiations, it\u2019s no wonder that the healthcare industry has grown too comfortable pitting payers and providers against each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lack of trust and transparency between the two groups has led to a perceived misalignment of vision. Across the board, the administrative staff has shouldered the brunt of this friction, which in the end affects patient care and revenue growth negatively. A recent study reported that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthaffairs.org\/content\/briefs\/administrative-waste-excess-health-spending\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">up to 28%<\/a>\u00a0of administrative waste could be eliminated each year if payers and providers worked together.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both payers and providers have already felt the pinch of clinical staff shortages, but the shared pain points don\u2019t end there. A&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaufmanhall.com\/sites\/default\/files\/2023-01\/KH_NHFR_2023-01.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kaufman Hall<\/a>&nbsp;report says that 2022 was the most challenging financial year for U.S. hospitals and health systems since COVID-19, with increased operating costs and a lack of staff resources to treat an increased patient volume. Similarly, payers are under more scrutiny from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, as more strict audits of Medicare Advantage plans could result in payers&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/private-medicare-plans-face-tough-new-audits-that-could-cost-billions-11675112977\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">repaying billions of dollars<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clearly, it\u2019s time to stop framing the payer-provider dynamic as foes to be conquered, and instead, consider the importance and benefits of more collaboration \u2013 what could be possible with improved payer-provider relations, and what changes we should make as an industry to help us get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shared Data Views to Bridge the Divide<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the simplest ways that payers and providers can start bridging the divide is to implement shared data-driven patient practices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the amount of healthcare data is growing exponentially, it tends to be in siloed and disparate places, presenting a significant barrier to usage. For example, payers and providers each use different data sets \u2013 payers tend to have historical data driven by claims over a long period of time, while providers tend to have more granular clinical and financial data that updates in real-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it is not enough to know that informational data silos exist. In a world where\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.bloomberglaw.com\/health-law-and-business\/health-care-clings-to-faxes-as-u-s-pushes-electronic-records\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">faxes still reign supreme<\/a>\u00a0and mere \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/hitconsultant.net\/category\/emr-ehr\/\">EHR<\/a>\u201d access is granted through portals \u2013 due to lack of interoperability, HIPAA concerns, and more \u2013 we must tackle data silos with technology solutions that offer more intuitive, prescriptive, and truly shared data views.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When payers know what data providers need and vice versa, they can provide each other with what\u2019s necessary to accomplish mutually desired outcomes \u2013 a more empathetic approach to data-sharing, if you will, in an environment that each party can equally access, as opposed to proprietary systems.&nbsp;Shared data views, updated in real-time, can also help identify a single source of truth that can serve as the bedrock on which to build trust and eventually payer-provider alliances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Accelerating Alignment through Advanced Technologies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once payers and providers establish a foundation of data sharing to lay the groundwork for collaboration, they can implement more advanced technologies.&nbsp;AI or machine learning-driven tools&nbsp;that support the work of both payers and providers can be layered on to accelerate alignment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, such tools can lessen the burden of utilization management (UM) on administrative staff, a traditionally manual process, that in many ways has become counterintuitive to the very goals UM was designed to accomplish \u2013 to ensure appropriate and judicious use of healthcare resources. Specific, but not limited to, UM, payers and providers can leverage predictive analytics within shared, trusted data views to establish agreed-upon thresholds \u2013 what is likely to be agreed upon as inpatient versus observation \u2013 to automate decision-making. If\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/oig.hhs.gov\/oei\/reports\/oei-09-16-00410.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">up to 90%<\/a>\u00a0of all services are ultimately approved, we should be using the science of data to work smarter, not harder, to remove unnecessary tasks and administrative waste associated with these processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Business Case is a Clarion Call for Better Tools, Processes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building and maintaining successful payer-provider alliances are much more than <a href=\"https:\/\/hitconsultant.net\/tag\/artificial-intelligence\/\">AI technology<\/a> augmenting criteria-based utilization management solutions, however. Given the current healthcare landscape, as mentioned above with staff and revenue challenges, there is also a clear business case for improvement \u2013 and \u201c<em>working together<\/em>\u00a0may be the only way forward,\u201d as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaufmanhall.com\/insights\/article\/business-case-payer-provider-strategies-partnerships\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kaufman Hall suggests<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To eliminate the zero-sum game mentality between payers and providers, we must establish new ways for them to approach problems together. And luckily, the tide seems to be turning, with the appetite for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/healthsparq.com\/blog\/new-research-why-payer-provider-collaboration-matters-and-how-to-enable-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">improved payer-provider relationships<\/a>&nbsp;as strong as the need \u2013 92% of provider executives say they desire greater collaboration with payers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The healthcare industry must therefore increase awareness and adoption of tools to help deliver on this need, ushering in a new era for payers and providers, where they can be united in their efforts to reduce administrative waste while improving staff productivity and the bottom line, ultimately enhancing the member\u2019s, or patient\u2019s, experience as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. Heather Bassett <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Heather Bassett has over 20 years\u2019 experience in healthcare and has served as Chief Medical Officer for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.xsolis.com\/?hsLang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">XSOLIS<\/a>since January 2013.
