According to the latest CMS National Health Expendi- ture Data, these programs represent significant revenue streams, with Medicare accounting for 21% and Medicaid for 18% of total national health expenditures.1 More crit- ically, Medicare and Medicaid together account for more than 60% of all care provided by hospitals, with Medi- care alone accounting for 44% of hospital care revenue.2 Recent polls indicate that transparency in healthcare data handling is a primary concern, with 61% of Americans expressing distrust in how their health information is managed and protected.3 Despite strong public support for healthcare modernization—with 72% of Americans believing current health information systems need signif- icant improvement3—healthcare providers must prepare for the reality of reductions in traditional revenue sources while addressing these trust concerns. 	cache/biht-383.pdf	txt/biht-383.txt
