Change to Disaster Extraordinary

Circumstances Waivers

1. Submit a waiver request to the

Hospital IQR Program within 30 days

of disaster

2. Note you also seek a waiver from the

Hospital VBP program for the program

year in which the same data could be

used as the VBP performance data

3. Submit evidence of your extraordinary

circumstance to “forestall the

possibility of hospitals attempting to

game their VBP scores”

- 33 -

Moore Hospital – May 22, 2013

- 34 -

For hospitals that submit data despite a disaster, but believe their Total Performance Scores will be negatively impacted by

their circumstances, they may be exempted from the VBP Program if exemption request is received within 90 days of event.

HCAHPS Consistency Points

HCAHPS Measures are assigned Achievement and

Improvement Points like the clinical measures

In addition, hospitals can earn anywhere from 0-20 points for

consistency in their HCAHPS scores

Consistency points are awarded proportionately based on the

single lowest of a hospital’s eight HCAHPS dimension scores

during the performance period compared to the national floor

for that specific dimension

HCHAPS Consistency Points

• If all the hospital’s dimensions score higher than the

Achievement Thresholds for each dimension the hospital

gets 20 consistency points

• That is, if the lowest hospital dimension score is at or

greater than the corresponding achievement threshold,

all 20 points are awarded

HCAHPS7 - Discharge information (% Always) 82% 81.93%

HCAHPS8 - Overall rating 67% 66.02%

HCHAPS Consistency Points

• If any one of the HCAHPS dimensions scores are lower

than “the Floor” value (zero percentile of baseline), the

hospital receives zero consistency points

HCHAPS Consistency Points

• If the lowest score is less than the achievement

threshold, but higher than the floor, then the consistency

points are based on the distance between the

achievement threshold and the floor for that dimension.

Formulas for Calculating HCHAPS

Consistency Points

Step 1: Calculate the “lowest dimension score” for the

lowest value across all eight HCHAPS dimensions

((Hospital’s performance period score – floor)/

(achievement threshold – floor))

20th Annual MIDAS+ User Symposium • May 22–25, 2011 • Tucson, Arizona

Example: ((.58 – .2927)/(.5928 - .2927)) = .9573

Formulas for Calculating HCHAPS

Consistency Points

Step 2: Calculate HCHAPS Consistency Points using the

“Lowest Dimension Score” Calculated in Step 1

(20 * lowest dimension score) – 0.5 = Consistency Points (rounded to nearest whole number)

20th Annual MIDAS+ User Symposium • May 22–25, 2011 • Tucson, Arizona

Example: (20 * (.9573) – 0.5) = 18.64 = 19 Consistency Points

HCHAPS Consistency Points

• If two or more HCAHPS dimensions scores are lower

than the Achievement threshold, the measure that is

closest to the “floor” value is used for the calculation of

the “lowest dimension score”

Tally Up All HCAHPS Points

1. For each of the eight dimensions, determine the larger of

the achievement or improvement scores

2. Sum these eight values to arrive at a 0-80 HCAHPS base

score

3. Calculate the 0-20 HCAHPS Consistency Score

4. Sum base score and consistency score

HCAHPS total earned points = HCAHPS base score + consistency score

20th Annual MIDAS+ User Symposium • May 22–25, 2011 • Tucson, Arizona

Calculate Total VBP Points 1. For each of the 8 Core Process Measures, determine the larger of the

achievement or improvement scores and find the sum

2. Multiply the sum of the clinical process domain by .10

3. For each of the 8 Outcome Measures (SSI strata each count as 1),

determine the larger of the achievement or improvement scores and

find the sum

4. Multiply the sum of the outcome domain by .40

5. Determine the larger of the achievement or improvement score for the

Medicare Efficiency Domain and multiple by .25

6. Multiply the HCAHPS Total Earned Points by .25

7. Sum the weighted scores together to get your Total Performance

Score (TPS).

TPS= (Sum of Process Domain Scores * .10) + (Sum of Outcome Domain Scores * .40) +

(Efficiency Domain Score * .25) + (HCAHPS Total Earned Points * .25)

How Do Points Impact Hospitals Financially?

• All hospitals will contribute 1.25% of their base operating DRG

Payment Amount in FY 2014

• VBP incentive dollars will be distributed back to hospitals based on a

linear distribution of all VBP scores nationally

• The best hospital in the nation would receive 1.817 percent extra DRG

reimbursement

• The worst hospital in the nation would receive only a 0.0236 increase

• Note this is separate from the Medicare Annual Payment Updates tied

to Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting Program!

• Hospitals that lost their HIQR Annual Payment Update are exempt from

the VBP Program
