The statement, authored by Premier’s Senior Vice President of Public Affairs Blair Childs, states that because financial pressures continue to increase for hospitals, “now is not the time to take further income away from hospitals using ineffective pay-for-performance measures.”
Congress has required CMS to finalize measures for an effective VBP program and post data to Hospital Compare, allowing hospitals sufficient time to prepare for the improvements and understand how their performance could affect future payment. For hospital-acquired conditions and AHRQ composite measures, the performance data is not complete or posted.
