Transformation occurs when organizations recognize the old way of operating can’t deliver the business strategies required to meet new marketplace requirements for success. A key feature of transformation is when a new state of functioning is unknown, and the change process must be shaped and adapted as it unfolds. A second key function of transformation is the essential role that mindset, behavior and culture change play in its successful transformation.

Under the rule, hospitals must list standard prices for 300 “shoppable services,” as well as the lowest prices they will accept from consumers paying out of pocket. According to CMS Administrator Seema Verma, the new price transparency rule will help patients by boosting quality and cutting costs.
