Abstract:
Medicare's Value-Based Purchasing Program (VBPP) compensates hospitals based on value of care provided. VBPP's total performance score (TPS) components data were evaluated by hospital groups: physician-owned surgical hospitals (POSH), Kaiser Hospitals, University HealthSystem Consortium Hospitals, Pioneer Accountable Care Organization Hospitals, US News and World Report Honor Roll Hospitals, and other hospitals. Multilevel random coefficient models estimated mean and significance of TPS differences from fiscal year (FY) 2015 and FY 2016, by hospital type. Overall mean TPS for 2985 hospitals decreased from 41.65 to 40.25. POSH and Kaiser Hospitals had significantly higher TPS in FY 2015 and FY 2016. POSH Patient Experience Domain scores exceeded all other Patient Experience Domain scores. The Efficiency Domain scores of Kaiser greatly exceeded the scores of all groups. Results suggest that POSH and Kaiser Hospitals provide significantly greater value of care with consistency from year to year when compared with other groups studied.
