The
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued final rules this
month for their Prospective Payment Systems that affect the quality measure
reporting requirements for hospital inpatient services, including Value Based
Purchasing, long-term care hospitals, PPS-Exempt cancer hospitals, inpatient
rehabilitation facilities, and inpatient psychiatric facilities. IHA has
updated the quality
measures table to reflect the changes finalized in the rules. For questions
regarding the quality measures table, please contact Elaine Pittman at epittman@IHAconnect.org or
