Abstract:
The Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting Program (IQR) program was first established to implement section 5001(b) of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) (Pub. L. 108-173), which authorized CMS to pay hospitals that successfully reported quality measures a higher annual update to their payment rates. It builds on a voluntary Inpatient Quality Reporting program which remains in effect. The Hospital IQR program formerly known as the Reporting Hospital Quality Data for Annual Payment Update program, began with an initial set of 10 measures. Section 5001(a) of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA) (Pub. L. 109-171) revised the mechanism used to update the standardized amount for payment for hospital inpatient operating costs. This is reflected in Sections 1886(b)(3)(B)(viii)(I) and (II) of the Social Security Act which provide that the annual payment update (APU) will be reduced for any "subsection (d) hospital" that does not submit certain quality data in a form and manner, and at a time, specified by the Secretary. Section 5001(a) of the DRA also expanded the scope of IQR, requiring CMS to add new measures. Sections 1886(b)(3)(B)(viii)(III) through (V) of the Social Security Act, required CMS to "adopt the baseline set of performance measures as set forth in the November 2005 report by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences", instructed the Secretary to "add other measures that reflect consensus among affected parties", and allowed the Secretary to "replace any measures or indicators in appropriate cases". When adding new measures, the law required CMS when "feasible and practical" to select measures put forward by "one or more national consensus building entities".
