Abstract:
The Hospital-Acquired Condition (HAC) Reduction Program is established by section 1886(p) of the Act, as added by Section 3008 of the Affordable Care Act (Pub. L. 111-148), and requires the Secretary to reduce payments to subsection (d) hospitals in the worst-performing quartile of all subsection (d) hospitals by 1 percent effective beginning on October 1, 2014 and subsequent years. In the FY 2019 IPPS/LTCH PPS proposed rule, we are proposing to adopt processes beginning in FY 2020 to validate NHSH HAI measures. In this PRA Package, we are requesting approval for the net shift in the total burden from the Hospital IQR Program to the HAC Reduction Program. We expect approximately 3,300 participating hospitals to be impacted.
