As CMS and The Joint Commission requirements for SCIP continue to evolve, are you ready to meet them?
The goal of the Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) is to reduce preventable surgical morbidity and mortality 25% by 2010. CMS requires hospitals to report on five measures or face risking their annual payment update (APU) of 2% of their Medicare reimbursement. As of January 2008, The Joint Commission has added three more SCIP requirements to its measure set. The information is not only out there for consumers to see, your peers and competitors are scrutinizing the data as well.
Engage your entire facility, raise your SCIP performance, and improve patient care.
Listen to this valuable 90-minute audioconference. Our experts offer practical and realistic ways to implement best practices to support SCIP, as well as turn the resulting data to positive action.
