Non-competes in the US 🛑✍️ What's the deal? Earlier this year, the FTC ruled for a ban on noncompetes with all workers, including senior executives. WHY the ban? 🤔 The FTC estimates that banning noncompetes will result in (according to the ftc.gov website): 💉 Reduced health care costs: $74-194 billion in reduced spending on physician services over the next decade. 🚀 New business formation: 2.7% increase in the rate of new firm formation, resulting in an additional 8,500 new businesses created each year. 💡 Rise in innovation: An average of 17,000-29,000 more patents each year. This reflects an estimated increase of about 3,000 to 5,000 new patents in the first year noncompetes are banned, rising to about 30,000-53,000 in the tenth year. This represents an estimated increase of 11-19% annually over a ten-year period. 💰 Higher worker earnings: $400-$488 billion in increased wages for workers over the next decade. The average worker’s earnings will rise an estimated extra $524 per year. What are the exceptions? ❗ Whilst new noncompetes are banned, any existing noncompetes in place for Senior Executives will remain in place. A Senior Exec is defined as workers earning more than $151,164 who are in a “policy-making position.” When does the ruling come into effect? 📅 The final rule is set to go into effect on September 4, 2024. How do you think this ruling will affect the market? 💭

And so, it begins. Another new year and a potential to change roles this year. There are many excellent articles out there about what you should and should not do to stand out as a good candidate. Since it is the first Monday of the year, I want to make this a quick read. So, here goes. > Ensure the dates on your resume and what you have listed on LinkedIn, match. > Skip the fancy designs – remain faithful to a well-written, resume/CV. > If you have a degree listed on your resume, be sure that it can be verified. > Be timely for your interview. Most of the meetings are online, test your system and join a few minutes before. > Dress professionally. > Research the company and the people you are going to meet. > Have some questions prepared to ask the interviewers. > After completing the interviews, send a “Thank you” note within 24 hours to everyone you met individually or collectively, reiterating your interest in the role. > Be responsive to calls, emails, and any communication from the company and/or the recruiter. (Check your junk mail folder). Anything else? #careers @roberthalf #NewYearNewOpportunities.

Job prediction Friday. New job functions will be needed to meet the changing nature of healthcare delivery and reimbursement. And soon. Here are five. Note: Many/most of these exist in some form or fashion now, but I believe the demand will grow, and explain why. 1. TEAM coordinator. CMS has doubled down on bundled payments with the new Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM) model.  Released in the 2025 Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) 2025 rule, TEAM is a five-year, mandatory episode-based payment model that starts in January 2026. It includes Lower Extremity Joint Replacements, Surgical Hip Femur Fracture Treatments, Spinal Fusions, Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts, and Major Bowel Procedures, stratifies risk in 3 tracks, and assesses performance by comparing actual Medicare FFS spending to a target price, as well as how hospitals perform on quality measures (readmissions, patient safety, and patient-reported outcomes). Someone will have to manage the process and ensure their organization is meeting quality and financial targets. 2. Data analyst/informaticist. Big data is the future of medicine. Being able to track diagnosis capture by specialty or down to the individual provider level is powerful, and can reveal critical areas of opportunity. An informaticist may drill down to PSI 11 (postoperative respiratory failure rate), producing a report of how often this diagnosis is being reported, and by which specialties, to launch new documentation improvement or quality improvement interventions, or offer targeted education. 3. EHR liaison. Technology adoption is exploding, and EHRs are increasingly adding on elements that impact the revenue cycle. These include point of care prompts to providers, generative AI that create progress notes, etc. But, much can’t be used out of the box. It requires turning on some pieces, “sleeping" others, educating providers etc. This requires a liaison between the vendor and IT. 4. Managed care coordinator/risk adjustment liaison. One of the most basic ways to move the risk adjustment needle in an organization is to just get your patients seen annually. To schedule annual wellness visits and then ensure that patients aren’t missing appointments. Providers need to be teed up with the right information pre-visit. 5. Pilot project manager. Given the number of new initiatives (see above) you could start, doing them all at once is not feasible. One way to dip your toe in the water is through a pilot project. For example, piloting social determinants of health (SDOH) capture in a couple of clinics before rolling it out organization-wide. This requires someone who understands both the documentation and coding aspects, but also clinic workflows coupled with strong project management skills. Coding/CDI professionals with the gumption and desire to learn are well-positioned to grow into these roles. The times are changing but I think the future is bright. What roles do you think will be needed?
