University Hospitals' Medicare Breakeven Plan - A Model for America

University Hospitals' Medicare Breakeven Plan - A Model for America's Hospitals.
University Hospitals is an 18 hospital system in the Cleveland area of Northeast Ohio.
University Hospitals made it a strategic goal to be 'Medicare Breakeven'... meaning their costs would be low enough that they would 'breakeven' with Medicare's rate of reimbursement.
To accomplish this goal, University Hospitals eliminated 450 administrative jobs and lowers costs by $250M per year by the end of 2023.
No clinical jobs were eliminated. In fact, University Hospitals is still hiring for clinical positions such as nurses and doctors.
A goal of University Hospitals is to bring 'Value to Patients and Payers.' University Hospitals wants to delivery high quality AND cost-effective care. It is a goal All Hospitals in America should have as well.

Hi Doc,
Great content. I was wondering if you could create a video specific to community health/ federally qualified health centers and how they can be profitable still serving Medicare, Medicaid, and uninsured patients. I want know if there’s a was that these orgs can become profitable.

Was the RIF truly to collaborate with (add value to) payors? It seems like it was as much a necessity to maintain solvency. The problem is much more complex than reducing admin positions. Now if United, BCBS, Aetna, etc. reduced their admin staff by $250M each (in Ohio) to add value to patients I might be less speculative. I do appreciate your videos and don't mean to sound cynical.

[@ahealthcarez]

Understood. Thank you for watching.

[@azppmd]

Consider voice training for optimal message delivery.

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for your feedback.

Perhaps not sounding like a voice trained front man is why these videos are so effective. You just can't fake sincerity

High pitched shrieking voice robs a speaker of credibility, listenability, and authority.
