Published on 5/9/2017

Health care organizations are facing several regulatory changes over the next several years with the mandatory requirements of Meaningful Use Stage 3 and the value-based payment world of MACRA.

In this episode of The Cerner Podcast, Dawn Ross discusses how organizations can decipher the new rules and adapt to this ever-evolving marketplace. Dawn is the clinical informatics director at IU Health, a comprehensive healthcare system comprised of hospitals, physicians and allied serviced dedicated to providing preeminent care throughout Indiana.
