CMS Call: Designing A SNF Value-Based Purchasing Program (March 10)
On March 10, 2011, CMS is hosting a public call on implementation of an ACA requirement that HHS develop a plan to implement a value-based purchasing program for Medicare SNF services. On the call, CMS is seeking stakeholder input on such issues as: the development, selection, and modification process for measures of quality and efficiency; the reporting, collection, and validation of quality data; the structure of value-based payment adjustments and the sources of funding for the value-based bonus payments; and methods for the public disclosure of information on SNF performance.
