Op-Ed: Health Agencies Must Win Back Public Trust

A Bright Spot in 2021: Less Medicare Documentation Needed

A chance for change. Despite these challenging times, challenging in so many more ways than we could ve ever imagined, the new year brought some hope related to one part of our broken healthcare system, and it was a change that we never even really saw coming. Although there s so much more to go, so many things that need fixing, many of us were surprised by the new CMS 2021 guidelines about Medicare billing and compliance. Who would ve thought? For so many years, the rules and regulations about what needed to be in a progress note to allow a certain level of billing created massive note bloat, endless pages of useless information that really only got in the way of trying to take care of patients and communicate from one provider to another.

Worse COVID-19 Outcomes Tied to MS Disability, Age

Disability and age were associated with poorer COVID-19 outcomes in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, registry data showed. Of approximately 2,000 people with MS and COVID-19 in North America, 17.8% of non-ambulatory patients died, compared with 4.3% of MS patients who walked with assistance and 0.6% of patients who were fully ambulatory, reported Amber Salter, PhD, of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Death occured most frequently in MS patients, ages 75 and older, who had COVID-19, she said in a presentation at ACTRIMS Forum 2021, the annual meeting of the Americas Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis. Findings came from COViMS, a registry supported by the Consortium of MS Centers, the National MS Society, and the MS Society of Canada. Healthcare professionals were asked to report patients with MS and other related diseases after a minimum of 7 days and sufficient time had passed to observe the COVID-19 disease course, Salter said.

Over the last 30 days, there have been around 11 cases of this SARS-CoV-2 infection-linked syndrome at the Nemours Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Delaware, as compared with a high of six to eight per month in the spring wave and three or fewer a month over the summer and fall. We anticipated this, said Meg Frizzola, DO, chief of the pediatric ICU there. After each holiday gathering Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year s . we saw a significant surge in COVID-19 cases.
