CMS Announces Over 150 ACCESS Participants, Raising Concerns Over Diverse Experience Levels

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has released a list of over 150 participants for its ACCESS model, sparking discussions about the diversity of experience among the selected organizations. The ACCESS model aims to deliver measurable clinical outcomes for patients with chronic conditions under tighter margins. Participants range from seasoned Medicare Advantage operators to newcomers from consumer tech and analytics sectors. This mix is intentional, as CMS has lowered barriers to entry to encourage applications from companies eager to enter the healthcare market. However, this diversity has raised concerns about the ability of less experienced participants to positively influence patient outcomes. Dr. Ashul Govil, medical director of Story Health by Innovaccer, expressed surprise at the number of companies involved and emphasized the importance of understanding limits in delivering patient care.

NCSBN Report Highlights Critical Nursing Workforce Challenges by 2026

NCSBN Report Highlights Critical Nursing Workforce Challenges by 2026

The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) has released its 2026 Environmental Scan, revealing significant challenges facing the nursing workforce. According to the report, approximately 40% of nurses plan to leave the profession or retire within the next five years. This anticipated exodus is compounded by a 7.2% faculty vacancy rate in nursing programs, attributed to noncompetitive salaries, lack of teaching experience, and a limited pool of PhD faculty. Additionally, nursing programs reported 4,856 unfilled seats last year due to faculty shortages and insufficient clinical placement opportunities. These factors contribute to a growing concern over the sustainability of the nursing workforce, as the industry grapples with record levels of burnout, workplace violence, and staffing shortages.
