CMS Continues Emphasis on Quality, Value-based Purchasing

Hospital Case Management : the Monthly Update on Hospital-based Care Planning and Critical Paths

Abstract

In the Inpatient Prospective Payment System proposed rule, CMS is asking for public input on how to ease the burdens on providers and how make the healthcare system less complex and bureaucratic. · The proposed rule also asks for input on additional measures that hospitals will have to report under the Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting Program, including measures on safe use of opioids, malnutrition screening and treatment, and screening and interventions around alcohol and tobacco use. · CMS proposes that Medicare spending-per-beneficiary performance account for 50% of hospitals' Efficiency and Cost Reduction scores in the Value-Based Purchasing Program and that each of the four domains -- safety, clinical care, efficiency and cost reduction, and person and community engagement -- comprise 25% of a hospital's overall score. · As directed by the 21st Century Cures Act, CMS proposed to calculate penalties under the Hospital Readmission Reduction Program by comparing hospitals' performance with other hospitals that have a similar population of patients who are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
