Spring Is a Good Time to Clean Up Your Vendor Contracts
by Jeffery Daigrepont | Senior Vice President at Coker Group
Whether it's a new purchase or a contract renewal, every year physicians and hospitals commit financially to vendor contracts without fully understanding the terms and conditions of their obligations. Some of these contracts renew automatically without permission or approval and automatically increase in pricing. In some cases, practices may even be paying for services no longer used or maintenance fees for support services they do not need. Springtime is a good time to inspect your contracts to ensure they are squeaky clean.

The Value of Clinical Documentation Improvement
by Annette Sullivan | Senior Manager
at
Coker Group
Healthcare is shifting its focus from volume to value, which essentially means placing emphasis on the quality of care. Quality health care should take precedence over anything else. Successful navigation of a value-based system will require all healthcare entities to become proficient in documentation and data analytics.

Coker Webinars
In addition to our monthly Coffee with Coker webinars, we are involved in the following additional webinars:
Get Your MACRA House in Order: How to Plan for & Mine Your Own Specialty Data
Physician-Hospital Alignment and Compensation Models: The Second Generation
The current era of healthcare alignment among physicians, hospitals, and outside independent investors has been underway for 10-15 years. Given this, many of the original contracts that formed the basis of these arrangements have (or will soon) expire. Thus, we refer to these updated deals as "second generation" transactions.
