2022 Stronger - P154 - Avoiding PSI and HACRP Penalties is a Team Sport - On Demand
In the federal fiscal year (FFY) 2019 Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Hospital-Acquired Condition Reduction Program (HACRP), three of six Sanford prospective payment system hospitals incurred a penalty. A system quality staff member reviewed patient safety indicators (PSIs) and identified opportunities to improve documentation and coding. Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles led to a standardized process involving hospital quality teams, clinical documentation improvement (CDI), coding and health information management staff. At least 70 erroneous PSIs were avoided in 27 months. Two hospitals made enough significant improvements in the PSI-90 composite to avoid penalties in two or three of the FFY 2020, 2021 and 2022 program years, saving at least $1 million.
