Bloomsburg Affordable Care Act Medicaid Expansions on Financial Wellbeing Discussion DISCUSSION 1—-A key reform goal of the 2010 Affordable Care Act was to create a healthcare system that rewards providers for achieving optimal care outcomes at a sustainable cost. As part of the law, the federal government has tested and implemented several new payment models designed to achieve this goal for the Medicare program; Such payments are presented to a great extent in the Medicare Cost Report (MCR). For this week, your assignment is to explore the role the MCR plays in a value – based health care system. Specifically, address issues included in the report like facility characteristics, utilization data, cost and charges by cost center. Furthermore, choose a couple of utilization metrics (data) and address how it is computed. Please assume a hospital setting.
