| CMS has released a report on the first performance year of the Next Generation Accountable Care Organization (ACO) Model.

| Going Bust Because of EHRs? |
| A rural hospital system in Mississippi is citing the costs of implementing electronic health records as the main reason for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and reorganization.
