Time running out to correct your public data
Quality Improvement Monitor, October 26, 2004
If your hospital is participating in CMS' Hospital Quality Alliance (formerly known as the National Voluntary Hospital Reporting Initiative), it has until November 6 to preview its first quarter quality data from 2004 before CMS publishes it on its consumer Web site. Otherwise, CMS will assume the data is correct.
If your organization has problems accessing its data or finds significant errors with it, contact your state's Quality Improvement Organization, CMS urges.
Hospitals that receive a full market basket payment update in fiscal year 2005 for participating in the initiative will not have the option of withholding their data from public display, but every effort will be made to correct substantive errors, says CMS.
Hospitals that are not eligible for the payment update may choose not to publicly display the data by contacting their state QIO by the November 6 deadline.
