“The congresswoman has been a leader on healthcare issues, especially rural and special need issues for years, and Chairman Upton asking her to join the health subcommittee is an asset to the committee and the broader healthcare community,” says Dan Boston, Executive Vice President and Principal at Health Policy Source, Inc.

Dan Boston, Executive Vice President and Principal at Health Policy Source, Inc., said, ‘‘The administration’s reinforcing the House Ways and Means and Energy and Commerce efforts on [the sustainable growth rate formula] can only further reinforce the momentum that can—and should—build behind congressional reform efforts.’’

“I think E&M will be talked about a great deal” in upcoming negotiations, says Dan Boston, Executive Vice President and Principal at Health Policy Source, Inc., a Washington-based consulting firm. And while he says hospitals were successful in maneuvering around this issue in the just-ended fiscal-cliff discussions, he thinks this payment area has implications beyond hospitals.

“It's not a hospital payment issue, but an integrated-delivery issue. If we're moving toward more integration and more coordination of care and holding folks accountable, you can't cut them for that,” he says. “What the federal government can do is make sure that the people receiving the benefit are meeting the criteria.”

Dan Boston, Principal at Health Policy Source, Inc., weighs in on the key issues facing the healthcare industry this year.

A small change sought through recently introduced federal legislation could amount to big
changes for the nation's rural health clinics.

This timeline chart of healthcare regulatory and legislative action expected in 2012 was prepared by Dan Boston, Monica Tencate, Jenny Gladieux, Katie Pahner, and Keith Snider, with Health Policy Source Inc., a healthcare consulting firm in Washington.

Health Policy Source Inc., a Washington area health policy advocacy and consulting firm, has hired Jenny Gladieux as a senior health policy analyst.

Gladieux, a veteran of the Centers & Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), brings broad policy expertise in the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

‘Her background helps to more fully expand our regulatory and legislative depth in these programs — at a critical juncture after this year’s passage of the Affordable Care Act of 2010,’ the company’s leaders Monica Tencate and Dan Boston said in a statement.

Gladieux has more than 10 years of healthcare policy experience. A graduate of the George Mason School of Law, she worked or consulted for CMS, AARP and several health care-related firms, including Mercer Human Resource Consulting.
