2015 Speech on Healthcare Global Budgeting by Patrick Conway MD, CMS/CMMI

On December 18, 2015, Patrick Conway gave a talk and interview at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health on global budget (DRG, bundling, future payment models, etc) for healthcare.

He was interviewed by Dr. David Chin.   The one-hour Youtube video is here:

An unofficial transcript is in the cloud, here.

I noted that in several of the speeches archived with transcripts on this page, Dr. Conways notes that it's been very hard to get CMMI demo programs certified by the CMS Actuary as statistically valid and cost-savings, an endorsement that would allow each demonstration's expansion to broader populations.

FireNewsFeed Aggregator

I don't recall ever hearing about FIRENEWSFEED.

It seems to be a very simple interface that aggregates headline stories from maybe 50 sources and compiles them into about 10 categories.

Find it here:
http://firenewsfeed.com/


For an example of the TECH aggregator:
http://firenewsfeed.com/technology


For an example of the Source/BusinessInsider aggregator:
http://firenewsfeed.com/source/4

FireNewsFeed doesn't seem to have any "About" homepage and it's hard to find any news about the website itself on the web.   Interesting.  Very clean and simple.  There doesn't seem to be an Iphone app but you could probably just bookmark the website homepage (as listed above).
