| CMS proposes nine more IC conditions to reduced payment list |
| Is it possible to prevent all C. diff infections? How about all cases of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP)? Experts will be weighing in on these questions in the next few months as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) determines whether to add these and seven other conditions to its existing list of preventable conditions. CMS won't reimburse hospitals at a higher rate for costs related to those hospital-acquired conditions under changes to its inpatient prospective payment system for 2009. |
