Screening is key to catching osteoporosis early and preventing fractures.

To close this quality care gap:
1. BMD test must be within 6 months of fracture
2. BMD test administered during inpatient stay resulting from fracture counts
3. Documentation of medication intolerance will not count
4. Osteoporosis medication must be filled with Part D plan
5. Women at risk should receive BMD test every 2 years

Make osteoporosis screening a priority.

Encourage your patients to get screened today!

Do you know the difference?

and are two sides of the same coin, both aiming to enhance patient outcomes while optimizing resource use.

The difference lies in in scope and incentives. VBC ties provider reimbursement to quality and efficiency, while pop health takes a broader view, addressing health trends and risk factors across entire groups to improve community well-being.

By integrating the two, providers can ensure care delivery is proactive, patient-centered, and sustainable.

This Patient Experience Week, we're throwing it back to an insightful episode of the Move to Value Podcast, featuring CHESS President, Dr. Lennon. 🎙️

In this episode, Dr. Lennon shares how, as a practicing provider, he listened closely to patient feedback and turned it into meaningful action. The result? Better patient experience scores and a deeper understanding of how value-based care makes a difference.

If you're passionate about putting patients at the center of care, this one is worth a listen!

Don't overlook one of the most important documentation updates this year: Type 2 Diabetes in Remission.

This new ICD-10 code is more than just a coding update, it's an opportunity to more accurately reflect a patient's clinical status while maintaining visibility into their history of disease.

Too often, when diabetes improves, it simply disappears from the problem list. But without proper documentation:
⚠️ Risk adjustment may be understated
⚠️ Long-term patient monitoring can be disrupted
⚠️ The full clinical picture is lost

As more patients achieve remission through lifestyle changes and treatment, it’s critical that documentation keeps pace.

Small coding updates like this can have a big impact on both care quality and performance.
