Worth Based Purchasing (VBP) is a control scheme introduced by Center for Medicare and Medicaid Solutions (CMS) to reduce the price of health care. Below VBP, providers will be reimbursed for care given to Medicare sufferers primarily based on patient satisfaction and the ability to get good scores on CMS core measures. http://go.cms.gov/14PQAKf

Steve Harden, CEO of LifeWings and a patient security instruction specialist says, “Medicare has been quite clear about the impact to hospital bottom lines. Typical performing hospitals wont break even. If they have typical core measures, and typical patient satisfaction the institution will shed income.”

The way to maximize reimbursement and safeguard the hospitals budget is to have higher overall performance compared to national benchmarks with other hospitals across the nation, and to make dramatic improvement against baseline scores. Either way, hospitals need to increase.

Adding the decreased reimbursements to an extra 20.4 million Medicare sufferers over the next decade, and then adding the effect of productivity adjustments, 15 % much more institutional providers will go bankrupt by 2019, according to the former administrator of CMS Leslie Norwalk reported in Fiercehealthcare.com.

Harden says, “You have to be much better than typical, or you will be worse off financially next year.
