FDA Launches Pilot Program for Digital Health Devices to Access Medicare Payment

FDA Launches Pilot Program for Digital Health Devices to Access Medicare Payment

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has introduced a new pilot program that allows digital health devices to access a Medicare payment option through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). This initiative, known as the Technology-Enabled Meaningful Patient Outcomes (TEMPO) for Digital Health Devices Pilot, aims to facilitate the collection of real-world data by waiving certain premarket authorization and investigational device requirements. The CMS program, called Advancing Chronic Care with Effective, Scalable Solutions (ACCESS), is designed to address barriers in care due to Medicare’s fee-for-service model. It will provide recurring payments to healthcare sites managing patients with qualifying conditions, contingent on achieving measurable health outcomes. The FDA plans to accept up to 10 U.S.-based manufacturers in each of four focus areas: early cardio-kidney-metabolic, cardio-kidney-metabolic, musculoskeletal, and behavioral health.

Healthcare AI Projects Face High Failure Rate Due to Strategic Misalignments

Healthcare AI Projects Face High Failure Rate Due to Strategic Misalignments

A recent report highlights that over 95% of AI projects in healthcare fail to deliver expected returns, despite significant investments. The primary reasons for these failures include low-impact workflow selection, end-user friction, missing integration with core systems, misalignment with organizational missions, and inadequate measurement frameworks. Successful AI implementation requires strategic alignment with organizational goals, seamless integration into existing workflows, and clear metrics for evaluating impact. NextGen Healthcare's Intelligent Agent exemplifies a successful AI application by coordinating specialized AI agents to streamline clinical, financial, and operational workflows, thereby enhancing efficiency and patient care.
