Mailbag: Virtual Nurses, Bundled Payments, and Single Payer

Sep 11, 2026
21:39

Episode Description

On this week's mailbag, John tackles three reader questions: How are health systems using AI to address the nursing shortage, and do these solutions solve the underlying problem? Are bundled payments becoming the norm for value-based payment models, and what does CMS's shift toward mandatory models like TEAM and CJR-X mean for providers and suppliers? And will the U.S. ever become a Canadian-style, single-payer system?
