The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services plans to hold its reschedule National Provider Call on Tuesday, Feb. 28 to discuss its Dry Run of the Fiscal Year 2013 Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Program.
The call will take place 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm ET, and discussion will focus on performance standards, measures and dimensions, and performance scoring.
You can get slides in advance of the call here (PDF).
Following the National Provider Call and starting February 29, CMS will make available to each hospital eligible for the FY 2013 Program its own "Simulated Hospital VBP Performance Report”. This report will be specific to each hospital and will follow a report format similar to what CMS will present during the National Provider Call. Hospitals that are not eligible will receive a sample report.
The Simulated Hospital VBP Performance Report will be accessible through a facility's QualityNet account. If a hospital has an inactive QualityNet account, you can re-activate it by contacting the QualityNet Help Desk at qnetsupport@sdps.org or (866) 288-8912.
