One of the nation’s former CMS Innovation Center leaders is getting back to his entrepreneurial roots to reimagine how health care is delivered in the U.S. Former Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) Director Adam Boehler announced earlier this month the launch of Rubicon Founders, a Nashville, Tennessee-based investment firm focused on “building and […]
The U.S. health care system has hit a defining moment in its shift toward value-based care, with the major decision in 2021 being an aggressive acceleration or cautious slowdown of the nation’s portfolio of alternative payment models.
