Hospital VBP Program Introduction Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Program Initially required in the Affordable Care Act and further defined in Section 1886(o) of the Social Security Act Quality incentive program built on the Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR) measure reporting infrastructure Hospitals will be paid for inpatient acute care services based on the quality of care, not just quantity of the services provided Funded by a 1.75% reduction from participating hospitals base operating Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) payments for FY 2016 Who is eligible for the program? As defined in Social Security Act Section 1886(d)(1)(B), the program applies to subsection (d) hospitals located in the 50 states and the District of Columbia 3
Hospital VBP Program Exclusions Who is excluded from the Hospital VBP Program? Hospitals subject to payment reductions under the Hospital IQR Program Hospitals and hospital units excluded from the Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) Hospitals cited for deficiencies during the performance period that pose immediate jeopardy to the health or safety of patients Hospitals with less than the minimum number of domains calculated Hospitals paid under Section 1814 (b)(3) and received an exemption from the Secretary of HHS Hospitals excluded from Hospital VBP will not have 1.75% withheld from their base operating DRG payments in FY 2016. 4

Baseline and Performance Periods FY 2016 13
Evaluating Hospitals Performance Standards Benchmark Average (mean) performance of the top ten percent of hospitals during the baseline period Achievement Threshold Performance at the 50 th percentile (median) of hospitals during the baseline period 14
Evaluating Hospitals (1 of 2) A higher rate is better for the following measures/dimensions: Clinical Process of Care Measures Patient Experience of Care Measures 30-Day Mortality Measures* MORT-30-AMI MORT-30-HF MORT-30-PN *Note: The 30-day Mortality Measures are reported as survival rates; therefore, higher values represent a better outcome. 15
Evaluating Hospitals (2 of 2) A lower rate is better for the following measures: AHRQ PSI-90 Composite HAI Outcome Measures CLABSI CAUTI SSI Abdominal Hysterectomy Colon Procedure Efficiency Measure* *Note: Unlike other measures, the Efficiency Domain measure, MSPB, utilizes data from the performance period to calculate the benchmark and achievement threshold instead of data from the baseline period. 16
Achievement Points Evaluating Hospitals Achievement vs. Improvement Awarded by comparing an individual hospital s rates during the performance period with all hospital s rates from the baseline period Rate equal to or better than benchmark = 10 points Rate lower than the achievement threshold = 0 points Rate equal to or better than the achievement threshold and lower than the benchmark = 1-10 points Improvement Points Awarded by comparing an individual hospital s own rates from the baseline period to the performance period Rate equal to or lower than the baseline period rate = 0 points Rate between the baseline period rate and the benchmark = 0-9 points 17
Hospital Eligibility: Clinical Process of Care Domain Clinical Process of Care Domain Measures A measure must have at least 10 eligible cases during the baseline period to have an improvement score calculated on the Percentage Payment Summary Report A measure must have at least 10 eligible cases during the performance period to have either an achievement or improvement score calculated on the Percentage Payment Summary Report The Clinical Process of Care Domain requires at least 4 out of the 8 measures to be scored in order for the domain score to be included in the Total Performance Score (TPS) on the Percentage Payment Summary Report 18
Hospital Eligibility: Patient Experience of Care Domain HCAHPS Survey Requires at least 100 completed HCAHPS surveys during the baseline period to have an improvement score calculated on the Percentage Payment Summary Report Requires at least 100 completed HCAHPS surveys during the performance period to have either an achievement or improvement score calculated on the Percentage Payment Summary Report The Patient Experience of Care Domain requires at least 100 completed HCAHPS surveys during the performance period for the domain score to be included in the Total Performance Score (TPS) on the Percentage Payment Summary Report 19

HAI: CLABSI/CAUTI/SSI Hospital Eligibility Outcome Domain (3 of 4) A measure must have at least 1 predicted infection calculated by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) during the baseline period to have an improvement score calculated on the Percentage Payment Summary Report A measure must have at least 1 predicted infection calculated by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) during the performance period to have either an achievement or improvement score calculated on the Percentage Payment Summary Report 22
Outcome domain Hospital Eligibility Outcome Domain (4 of 4) Requires at least 2 of the 7 measures to be scored in order for the domain score to be included in the Total Performance Score (TPS) on the Percentage Payment Summary Report 23
Hospital Eligibility: Efficiency Domain The measure must have at least 25 eligible episodes of care during the baseline period to have an improvement score calculated on the Percentage Payment Summary Report The measure must have at least 25 eligible episodes of care during the performance period to have either an improvement or achievement score calculated The Efficiency Domain requires at least 25 eligible episodes of care during the performance period to be scored in order for the domain score to be included in the Total Performance Score (TPS) on the Percentage Payment Summary Report 24
Hospital Eligibility Total Performance Score Hospitals need scores for at least 2 out of 4 domains to receive a Total Performance Score (TPS) Excluded domain weights are proportionately distributed to the remaining domains to calculate the TPS 25
Domain Weighting Sample Scenario A hospital meets minimum case and measure requirements for the Clinical Process, Patient Experience and Outcome domains, but does not meet the minimum number of episodes required for the Efficiency domain 26
