This custom report illustrates step by step how your hospital's performance on individual Medicare quality measures is transformed into payment adjustments, including Hospital Readmission Reduction Program (HRRP), Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (HVBP), and Hospital-Acquired Conditions (HAC) Reduction Program. The reports are generated annually in the beginning of the calendar year.
