Benchmark: Increasing Organ Transplant Access (IOTA) Model: Impact on Medicare

Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from taking the course on Medicare Program; Alternative Payment Model Updates and the Increasing Organ Transplant Access (IOTA) Model.

What this benchmark helps you gauge:
– Your grasp of why CMS is testing IOTA and when a mandatory model solves problems a voluntary one can’t.
– How performance-based incentives could shift hospital behaviors across achievement, efficiency, and quality—and the trade-offs involved.
– Where transparency, beneficiary protections, and data sharing rights change day-to-day workflows.
– How health equity aims can be advanced without sacrificing outcomes or efficiency.
– Whether your organization is operationally ready for two-sided risk, collaborator alignment, monitoring, and targeted review processes.
– How public comments and RFIs can still influence the final rule, even if you’re not a participant.

What you’ll get:
– A quick sense of your blind spots and strengths on policy intent, operational impact, and equity implications.
– Clear signals on which course modules to prioritize (payments and scoring, data/transparency, equity requirements, monitoring/remedial actions).
– Thought-provoking, scenario-style questions—not trivia—to preview the decisions you’ll face under IOTA.

Use this benchmark before the course to see how much value the training can add; revisit after the course to confirm your progress and pinpoint remaining gaps.
