This presentation discusses the importance of clinical documentation in accurately assigning Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs) and Hospital Acquired Conditions (HACs) to improve patient safety. It explores the impact of documentation on value-based care and CMS penalties, as well as specific documentation requirements for PSIs and HACs.

The Impact of Clinical Documentationwhen assigning: Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs)and Hospital Acquired Conditions (HACs) Presented to: Indiana Association of Clinical Documentation Improvement Specialists Steven Robinson, MS-HMS, PA-O, RN, SSBB, CDIP
Value based care – a CMS promised progression • In January of 2015 CMS announced an acceleration from IPPS (fee-for-service) model to Value Based Care • Congress enacts the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) • Clinical care (Process application and Outcome Metrics) are to increase from 25% in 2015 to 50% by 2018. • Most meaningful Penalties are also to be modified to the negative: • PQRS (Physician Quality Reporting System Penalty – from 1.5% in 2015 to 2% in 2016 and beyond • Meaningful Use Penalties – from 1% in 2015 to progressively 5% and higher in 2019.
Value based care – a CMS promised progression Advanced strategies for VBC
Medicare Hospital Value Payments FY 2011- 2017 • Percentages reflect approximate maximum potential impact to an individual hospital. • Non-reporting Hospitals -Lose 2% of their annual market basket update through 2014, then lose ¼ of that update 2015 & after • Incentive payments - “high adoption” scenario. Payment reductions – Non-meaningful use adopters 2015 & after. Both via market basket adjustments • HACs reported through claims - loose severity adjustment • Top quartile of HAC users – 1% penalty • Readmissions – Lower than Benchmark face potential cut to up to a percentage ceiling • Percentage of base-DRG payment - subject to meeting quality measure requirements • Note: After 2017 - The values in the column labeled “2017” remain constant thereafter (if all stays a planned today…)
FY 2015 Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) Final Rule: Measures used in FY 2015 (10-1-15 – 9-30-16) to draft a “Measures Score” • Patient Safety Indicators PSI 90 composite measure • PSI 3 – Pressure Ulcer Rate • PSI 6 Iatrogenic Pneumothorax Rate • PSI 7 Central Venous Catheter- Related Blood Stream Infection Rate • PSI 8 Postoperative Hip Fracture Rate • PSI 12 Postoperative Hip Fracture Rate • PSI 13 Postoperative Sepsis Rate • PSI 14 Would Dehiscence Rate • PSI 15 Accidental Puncture and Laceration Rate • Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSI) measure • Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI) measure FY 2016 Additions (10-1-16 – 9-30-17 – No criteria released as yet) • SSI - Colon Surgeries and Abdominal Hysterectomies FY 2017 Additions (10-1-17 – 9-30-18 – No criteria released as yet) • MRSA • CDI
CDI to the RescuePSI/HAC Documentation Opportunities / Impacts The following are Patient Safety Indicators / Hospital Acquired Conditions demonstrating how clinical documentation can influence/support their use in various ways: Documentation Specifics need to support the PSI / HAC Risk averse Documentation Required Documentation Inclusions Specific PSI/HAC documentation that will exclude the PSI/HAC assignments Alternative diagnosis opportunities Most all HACs / PSIs need POA status consideration
