The CMS' new value-based purchasing program is shaping up as expected. "Comparison data on the measures is available and, in many cases, hospitals already know where they stand," says Dr. Lynn Simon, left, chief quality officer at Community Health Systems. "We're ready." Still, some have concerns about double penalties and how quality measures will be weighted.
医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心(CMS)新的基于价值的采购计划正如预期那样逐步形成。社区医疗系统的首席质量官林恩·西蒙博士(左)表示:“关于这些指标的对比数据已经可得,而且在很多情况下,医院已经知道自己的处境。我们已经做好准备。”不过,一些人对双重处罚以及质量指标将如何加权仍存在担忧。
