Value-Based Purchasing Calculator
The days of earning your full Medicare Annual Payment Update by simply submitting complete and accurate data are drawing to a close. Under the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid's (CMS) value-based purchasing (VBP) plan, your facility's performance on clinical quality process of care and patient satisfaction (HCAHPS) measures will determine 1% of your base DRG payment for federal fiscal year (FFY) 2013. Payments for FFY 2014 will also incorporate performance on outcomes measures. With the performance period under way, it's vital to understand and continue to improve your hospital's position.
Prepare today to optimize your performance and value-based purchasing payment
The Press Ganey Value-Based Purchasing Calculator is the only solution that delivers near-real-time HCAHPS and core measures performance data so you can identify top priorities and key strategies to improve your score.
Scores for FFY 2014 are now available and FFY 2013 scores incorporate the redistribution of leftover incentive funds to predict payments.
