title: No consensus. Healthcare systems slam NQF over support of readmissions measure.
abstract: A recent decision by the National Quality Forum endorsing a measure on readmissions has a group of large hospitals and systems crying foul and criticizing the group's process. "It's very rare that we don't have overwhelming support for measures when they're endorsed because there are so many opportunities to have issues raised and resolved along the way... This is an unusual case," says Dr. Helen Burstin, left, of the NQF.
