Overview
Hospitals face significant financial risk under three Medicare quality-based payment programs established by the Affordable Care Act: the Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Program, the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (RRP), and the Hospital-Acquired Condition (HAC) Reduction Program. Together, these initiatives put up to 6% of Medicare inpatient fee-for-service (FFS) payments at stake, tying reimbursement to performance on quality, safety, and readmissions metrics. To help hospitals navigate these evolving requirements and avoid costly penalties, HAP is partnering with DataGen to provide an in-depth webinar on the latest developments, methodologies, and strategies for success.
During this webinar you will learn:
- A comprehensive overview of each program and a detailed explanation of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) scoring methodologies.
- Insights into recent regulatory updates, explore DataGen’s hospital-specific VBP, RRP, and HAC analyses available through HAP, and review historical state-level impacts.
- How to interpret performance data, prioritize quality improvement efforts, and implement targeted strategies to protect revenue and maximize incentive potential.
