CMS Proposals, 340B Changes and Hospital Financial Pressures with Laura Dyrda

Becker’s Healthcare Podcast

There's a small circle of people who truly understand what it takes to lead a health system right now. The decisions are enormous, the variables are constantly shifting, and the stakes of getting a call wrong don't stay contained. That's not a complaint, it's a structural reality. And it's why the most effective C-suite leaders are deliberate about where they go to pressure test their thinking.

Becker's 14th Annual CEO and CFO Roundtable brings together more than 1,500 executive level attendees and nearly 400 speakers for four days built around growth, financial sustainability, workforce strategy, and leadership questions that don't have easy answers. Join us November 2nd through the 5th in Chicago. For the agenda and event details, visit BeckersHospitalReview.com and click on the events tab in the upper right.

This is Scott Becker with the Becker's Healthcare Podcast. Thrilled today to visit with Laura Dyrda. Laura is the Editor-in-Chief at Becker's Healthcare and a phenomenal leader and person. She joins us regularly to talk about some of the top two or three stories that she's following in healthcare currently. Laura, I'm going to turn it to you. What are a couple of the top two or three stories that you're following currently?

Absolutely. Well, thank you so much, Scott. I think one of the big things that we've been keeping a close eye on over the last few days is some of the new rules that have come out of CMS. Some of the proposed 2027 Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System and Amatory Surgery Center proposed rule, in addition to a few others that would make some significant changes for hospitals and systems if they all go through.
