Abstract:
Section 3004 of The Affordable Care Act authorizes the establishment of a new quality reporting program for Long Term Care Hospitals (LTCHs). Beginning in FY 2014, LTCHs that fail to submit quality measures data to CMS may be subject to a 2 percentage point reduction in their annual update to the standard Federal rate for discharges occurring during a rate year. One of the quality measures LTCHs are to collect and submit data on for this new quality reporting program is the Percent of Residents with Pressure Ulcers That Are New or Have Worsened. A new pressure ulcer data set has been developed specifically for use in LTCHs. This pressure ulcer data set incorporates data items contained in other, well know and clinically established pressure ulcer data sets, including but not limited to the Minimum Data Set 3.0 (MDS 3.0) and Continuity Assessment Record & Evaluation (CARE). Beginning on October 1, 2012, LTCHs will begin to collect a newly created set of pressure ulcer measure data elements for the LTCH quality reporting program. This data set consists of the following components: (1) pressure ulcer documentation; (2) selected covariates related to pressure ulcers; (3) patient demographic information; and; (4) a provider attestation section The use of the newly created LTCH CARE Data Set is necessary in order to allow CMS to collect LTCH quality measure data in compliance with Section 3004 of the Affordable Care Act. There are no other reasonable alternatives available to CMS for use in the collection of pressure ulcer data in LTCHs.
