Stakeholders Evaluate Impact Of Bundled Payment Initiative On Devices, Patient Care-thegraysheet: Last month, CMS selected the participating health care organizations in its new Bundled Payment for Care Improvement initiative to test how bundling payments for episodes of care can result in more coordinated care for beneficiaries and lower costs for Medicare. Stakeholders affected by the new initiative weighed in on whether the program will affect decisions over which medical devices to use in the episodes of care identified, as well as whether there are adequate quality measures in place to ensure patient care will not suffer.
