Letter to CMS on Pressure Injury Quality Measures in the IPPS

In a letter to CMS, the Coalition requested that  a Hospital Harm - Pressure Injury electronic clinical quality measure (eCQM) be included in the CY 2021 Inpatient Prospective Payment System rulemaking. Pressure injury rate transparency will lead hospitals to identify and implement best practice improvements which will reduce hospital-acquired pressure injuries, the Coalition noted.
