QUOTE ATTRIBUTABLE TO MELANIE MATTHEWS, HIN EXECUTIVE VP AND COO:

Click here for Melanie Matthews's profile.

"In the latest of its healthcare quality-driven initiatives, CMS will evaluate hospitals' performance against 17 core measures and eight survey measures. Ultimately, this program will include a set of financial incentives and penalties. To make sure they measure up and maximize reimbursement in a value-based environment, hospitals should follow the example of organizations such as St. David's HealthCare."
