The Center for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) released a proposed rule on March 8, 2016, that would modify its reimbursement rate for Medicare Part B drugs. The new model is a mandatory demonstration project developed by the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) that would be conducted across nearly all Primary Care Service Areas in the United States. This "one-size-fits-all" rule gives unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats - not the healthcare providers that we know and trust - the power to experiment with the lives of vulnerable seniors and the nationâs sickest patients.
Pretend that you're an entrepreneur who is determined to solve the above problem. Describe the top 2 things that will promote the entrepreneurial pursuit of a solution to the problem you've pointed out. Do the same for the top 2 negative influences.
Feel free to change topics or find something more meaningful to you for this assignment. Just provide a short description of the problem/opportunity.
Example
PROBLEM: Sex disparity in heart attack patients given percutaneous coronary intervention within 90 min of arrival (insert your topic)
Health care systems level (your options are Health, Healthcare, Health Care Systems level, see slide #3).
Top two solution barriers
1.Passive Legal/Regulatory Environment
No legal repercussions for such disparity.
2.Traditional Social Environment
The problem has existed for many years. Are we comfortable with the disparity?
Top two solution promoters
1.Democratic Political Structure
The individual is powerful and holds protected rights.
2.Threatening Competitor Environment
Competitive success drives larger scale change.
