No HAC-king next week....
CMS announced today that its plan to publicly release hospital-specific data on hospital acquired conditions (HACs) next week has been put on hold. Apparently the data were flawed. We recently reviewed our data report that was to be released, and compared the hospital acquired CLABSI and catheter associated UTI data to that collected via concurrent surveillance by our IPs. To describe the CMS data as wildly inaccurate would be an understatement.
