  This is Scott Becker with the Becker's Healthcare

  Podcast.
• 0:04
  These are seven stories that we're following this
• 0:06
  week as we kick off the Becker's Healthcare
• 0:08
  annual meeting. First, CMS
• 0:11
  puts forward a 2.4%
• 0:13
  hospital pay bump,
• 0:15
  and and also pushes for a mandatory joint
• 0:17
  replacement model. We'll see how this goes along.
• 0:20
  It seems like CMS is constantly bumping up
• 0:23
  Medicare Advantage
• 0:24
  and not doing enough for hospitals and health
• 0:26
  systems.
• 0:27
  Second, CMS proposes
• 0:30
  a bundled model for joint replacements, a mandatory
• 0:33
  bundled model. We'll again see what that looks
• 0:35
  like in detail over the next couple next
• 0:37
  few months.
• 0:39
  Third, Evant Health ranks ground on a $27,000,000
• 0:43
  freestanding
• 0:44
  ER type of, unit.
• 0:46
  Again, fantastic work and great growth from AdventHealth.
• 0:50
  Fourth,
• 0:51
  NorthBay Health
• 0:53
  signs a final agreement to take over a
• 0:55
  Providence Hospital in their area.
• 0:57
  Fantastic work there.
• 0:59
  Fifth, we're thrilled to kick off the Becker's
• 1:02
  Hospital annual meeting today as well as the
• 1:04
  chief pharmacy officer's summit,
• 1:06
  the oncology summit, the behavioral health summit, and
• 1:08
  and a a number of other meetings that
• 1:10
  we've got collocated to Hyatt Regency this year.
• 1:13
  Thrilled to see the Hyatt Regency updated and
• 1:15
  looking a lot cleaner and a lot brighter
• 1:17
  and and very positive.
• 1:19
  Sixth,
• 1:20
  hospital at home enters an expansion cycle.
• 1:23
  Naomi Diaz reports on that today at Becker's
• 1:25
  Healthcare.
• 1:25
  And finally, seventh, a Texas hospital dismisses their
• 1:28
  CEO.
• 1:29
  Again, a sign of the times is there's
• 1:31
  a good deal of turnover in senior leadership
• 1:33
  at hospitals and health systems. Thank you for
• 1:35
  listening again to the Becker's Healthcare podcast. Thank
• 1:38
  you very, very much.
