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.
FY 2016 VBP Scoring Methodology
- 35 -
• No changes in scoring methodology!
• Maryland Hospitals remain exempt
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

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
