How AARP Can Get Its Groove Back
By FREDERICK R. LYNCH
Claremont, Calif.
THE emerging debate over the future of entitlements is forcing an overdue identity crisis at AARP. Last week, leaders of the 37-million-member group issued a vague half-denial after news accounts reported that they were prepared to accept cutbacks in Social Security benefits. It was a wavering, confusing response that reflected mission drift and a loss of organizational focus and identity.

Health care's move to pixels slow | |
| Electronic health records are at the center of some of the key reforms of the Affordable Care Act, because having reliable data to track patients, trends and possible fraud is one of the ways reformers think they will eventually be able to bend the cost curve. But so far, only a scant number of providers are fully using the technology — and even fewer use it so as to qualify for federal incentive payments. Through mid-May, just 1,026 registered hospitals and physicians out of a possible 56,599 have shown they use electronic records and other digital technology to meet federal “meaningful use” standards, and only 861 of them have actually received payment for doing so, according to data collected by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and obtained by POLITICO. http://dyn.politico.com/printstory.cfm?uuid=7566D2B7-062B-4E42-8B46-152DBBB3E287 |
