Sample Free Facility Summary
FREE FACILITY SUMMARY: SAMPLE HOSPITAL NAME Overview Several measures included in the Leapfrog Hospital Survey are used in federal payment incentive and/or penalty programs. To help hospitals gain insight into how their income may be impacted, DHG Healthcare has partnered with Leapfrog to analyze hospitals Revenue at Risk based on quality and safety data. The Revenue at Risk Free Facility Summary provides your projected summary-level revenue at risk in CMS programs. How to Use This Report This hospital revenue at risk facility summary helps you begin to understand the scope of your revenue at risk, by projecting your revenue at risk across CMS Value-Based Purchasing (VBP), Hospital Readmissions Reduction (RRP), and Hospital Acquired Conditions (HAC) programs at a summary level across several performance periods. For participating hospitals, CMS has withheld a percentage of your Medicare reimbursement. Based on your hospital s performance in each program, you have the opportunity to earn-back the amount that was withheld. BREAK-EVEN: Your hospital s respective program performance allowed you to earn-back all the Medicare revenues that were withheld. MAXIMUM REWARD/: Because the financial impact to CMS is a zero sum gain, hospitals who perform better than their peers in each respective program have the opportunity to earn more than the breakeven amount. These hospitals are effectively able to capture the maximum reward dollars that penalized hospitals did not earn back, and hospitals who are not moving quickly to improve their program performance are leaving this money on the table. Your facility summary to the right is simply intended to demonstrate the magnitude of Medicare revenue at risk for your facility. The Basic and Premium Custom Engagement Revenue at Risk offerings provide greater detail into your facility s projected performance, the underlying drivers, and potential strategies to maximize the risk revenue for your hospital.
