Don’t quite have time to listen to the entire episode? No worries. We’ve compiled an assortment of highlights from Gilberg’s interview for your convenience:
• (18:06) “While I personally believe in these predictions … these are not from my personal experience. These are from the experience of the 50,000 MGMA members that can help inform what we do here in Washington.”
• (30:34) “It almost sounds overly simplistic. It’s like flying a plane without any data or instruments. But the fact is that that’s what the government has asked our members to do in many respects with these value-based care programs. … A lot of the programs lack data.”
• (33:27) “I think the true definition of disruption is that you’re disrupting something that exists today, and I’m not sure we know exactly how healthcare will be disrupted.”
• (42:54) “I think working together that we can have a really positive impact on our healthcare system and what we do here in Washington. That’s what a collective voice of an organization like MGMA can do.”
