Topic Background:
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has been planning for some time (with the implementation of the Balanced Budget Act) to share the burden of costs with providers. Sharing of costs has been evidenced with value based purchasing, which demonstrated a transition from payment for volume to payment for value. Now the cost sharing process is transitioning to providers. Hospitals, in the bundled payment programs, are now assuming financial responsibility for more than just the acute care episode. These changes place greater risk on providers of care and require a comprehensive across-the-continuum approach using case management as the driver of the process.
