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 Reduction Program (HACRP).
The reports are generated annually in the beginning of the calendar year.
COTH members can use this report to:
- Understand performance on Medicare's quality programs and its impact on your institutions's bottom line
- Understand how performance on quality measures is converted to a payment adjustment
- Maximize the return on quality improvement efforts
The tutorials show you how to use the report to achieve each of these objectives.
