The head of CMS views MACRA and its implementation as the means of making value-based care a reality across the United States.

According to the Acting Administrator of CMS, MACRA is the vehicle for realizing progress in care delivery by aligning the quality goals of both federal regulators and individual physicians.

“When we put our minds to it, I have seen how much technology can radically improve health care and how fast. MACRA is the burning platform for progress in care delivery, just as the ACA was in health care coverage. Together, we can make the system radically better,” Andy Slavitt told attendees at Health Datapalooza, which ends today.

Slavitt’s comments were republished on the official CMS blog.
