1:00 - 3:00 pm EST

Available to New York State providers only.

This session will explain to health information management (HIM) and quality professionals how the data that they share with one another is critical to portraying the hospital’s quality of care.

With the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the New York State Department of Health, and others relying on coded data to drive their “report cards” on institutions’ quality of care, it is critical that HIM and quality professionals work together to understand the intricacies of the data.

This session will focus on pay-for-performance initiatives, which are driven by coded data, and the importance of hospital-acquired conditions in quality and reimbursement.
