Value Based Purchasing As part of the Affordable Care Act, congress has authorized the inpatient Value Based Purchasing Program, which provides a data reporting infrastructure for hospitals to help ensure quality patient outcomes • CMS will implement Value Based Purchasing to Inpatient Prospective Payment System which affects 3,500 hospitals, representing largest share of Medicare spending • Hospitals will pay a percent withholding on the front end and will either earn money back, lose percent paid in, or earn additional dollars • Funding of Value Based Purchasing program will be through the reduction of hospitals DRG payments for each discharged (Inpatient Protective Payment System) http://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Quality-Initiatives-Patient-Assessment-Instruments/hospital-value-basedpurchasing/index.html?redirect=/hospital-value-based-purchasing/ Accessed on April 26, 2013 Fiscal Year MS-DRG Operating Payment Reduction FY 2013 1% FY 2014 1.25% FY 2015 1.50% FY 2016 1.75% FY 2017 and Beyond 2% The Affordable Care Act How Does Value Based Purchasing Impact You? Unlike the HAC and RR Program, VBP is budget neutral, CMS will not keep any portion of the percent withheld nationally CMS redistributes the percent withheld across hospitals with highest achievement • Redistribution is based on performance • Best performers win others break even or lose So what does that mean?

Conclusion The Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act is predicated on IMPROVING, more specifically continually IMPROVING PATIENT SATISFACTION and continually IMPROVING OUTCOMES over time. The hospitals that can achieve that going forward will be the most successful. Questions? © 2014 Ethicon US, LLC. 010613-140221
