Abstract: Section 1881(h) of the Social Security Act, as amended by section 153(h) of the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act, authorizes the establishment of a quality incentive program for renal dialysis facilities. CMS first introduced the NHSN Bloodstream Infection Clinical Measure into the ESRD QIP for PY 2016. Continuing in PY 2020 (CY 2018), CMS will conduct a data validation study of data reported to NHSN. It is imperative that the data validation continue to include a greater number of facilities (35 facilities in CY 2018).
