Abstract

CMS's recent FAQs on how GME/IME payments will be managed for residents' training in nonhospital settings only add to healthcare providers' confusion on this issue. Several recommendations represent substantial changes in the rules. The new requirements that are expressed or implied in the FAQs make compliance extremely difficult.

Guidelines for guidelines.

Practice guidelines are proliferating in medicine. In addition to methodological problems that cause guidelines to be outdated rapidly, they are plagued by conflicts of interest. They are largely consensus opinions of panels of experts, most of whom are supported by industry. Professional societies, health insurers, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and dialysis providers also benefit from guidelines. Little attention is paid to the potential for harm to patients, and to the profession of medicine, from the widespread use of guidelines.
