title: Focus on value-based purchasing to help your hospital succeed.
abstract: Case managers are in a position to help their hospitals score well and not lose reimbursement as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services shifts from paying hospitals for quantity and moves toward basing reimbursement on quality. Be aware of the metrics included in value-based purchasing, analyze your metrics, and make improvements. Make the case for technology to help case managers analyze all the data needed to identify areas for improvement. Keep in mind that CMS is adding new components every year and that the measurement period starts long before the payment year.
