There are now several programs implemented by CMS that adjust a hospital's Medicare payment according to selected quality measures: Value-Based Purchasing VBP, Readmission Reduction (HRR), and Hospital-Acquired Condition (HAC) Reduction. This indispensable report details a hospital's performance under these programs since they were implemented.
The report also details all quality measures being collected, even if they don't currently effect Medicare payment. These data are collected from disparate sources and are presented in an understandable format that enables hospitals to monitor performance and that facilitates comparisons among hospitals.
