Program Description
In the Eighth Scope of Work, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have a vision to provide the right care for every patient every time. To make this vision a reality, transformational change must occur, creating a patient-centered process and a hospital culture of safety, quality, and satisfaction. Appropriate Care Measure (ACM) is one initiative to achieve transformational change and will likely become the basis for many pay-for-performance activities in the hospital sector.
ACM is an aggregate measure that indicates whether or not a hospitalized patient that meets the eligibility criteria for the core measures AMI, heart failure, pneumonia or SCIP have received all the care he/she was eligible to receive based on the 24 publicly reported measures. This originated with the 10 publicly reported measures and has expanded to include SCIP and the 24 currently reported measures.
During the two-hour audioconference, you'll learn how this new reporting framework provides hospitals with an overall measure of quality and helps create a more accurate assessment of how a hospital cares for its patients. National speakers, as well as local hospitals, will share their knowledge and experience with you.
