Additional Quality Measures
and Procedures for Hospital Reporting of Quality Data for the FY
2008 IPPS Annual Payment Update (Surgical Care Improvement Project
& Mortality Measures)
The approval of this data collection
process is essential to meet the requirements of Section 404 of the
Medicare Prescription Drug and Modernization Act (MMA) of 2003 and
its applicability to the hospital market basket. This section of
the MMA requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to,
"... establish a frequency for revising such [market basket]
weights including the labor share, in such market basket to reflect
the most current data available more frequently than every five
years." This information is used by Quality Improvement
Organizations (QIOs) to identify opportunities for improvement, and
to effectively target quality improvement initiatives in order to
meet the statutory requirements for QIOs. The information will be
made available to hospitals for their use in internal quality
improvement initiatives. The information is used by CMS to direct
its contractors to focus on particular areas of improvement, and to
develop quality improvement initiatives. Most importantly, this
information is available to beneficiaries, as well as to the public
in general, to provide hospital information to assist them in
making decisions about their health care. CMS conducts focus groups
or market testing prior to public reporting hospital quality data
on the Hospital Compare website. For FY 2008, we propose to add the
HCAHPS Survey to the measure set. For FY 2009, the set of measures
for the RHQDAPU program will consist of measures previously
approved through the PRA process, as well as additional measures
identified through this rulemaking. For FY 2009 the measurement set
we propose to add the following additional measures: Pneumonia
30-day Mortality (Medicare patients); SCIP Infection 4: Cardiac
Surgery Patients with Controlled 6AM Postoperative Serum Glucose;
SCIP Infection 6: Surgery Patients with Appropriate Hair
Removal.
