Leveraging the EHR with CDS to Prepare for Value-based Care at Cedars-Sinai

Scott Weingarten, MD, SVP, Chief Clinical Transformation Officer, Cedars-Sinai Health System. Dr. Weingarten describes Cedars-Sinai’s four-year journey to “hard wire” CDS into the EHR related to value-based payments in the inpatient and ambulatory settings, and to evaluate the resulting impact on quality and cost of care.  He also discusses the performance of commercial accountable care organizations during the time period, as well as how CDS can enable organizations to prepare for MACRA, bundled payments, and initiatives to reduce hospital Medicare losses.
