CMS Announces Overhauls to Meaningful Use in Proposed Rule
Mary Butler for Journal of AHIMA; Apr 25, 2018
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced that it is renaming and overhauling the “meaningful use” electronic health record (EHR) Incentive Program as well as the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) in a new proposed rule.
The changes to MIPS and meaningful use were introduced as part of the FY 2019 Medicare Hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) and Long Term Acute Care Hospital (LTCH) Prospective Payment System Proposed Rule, which was published in the Federal Register on April 24. The proposed policies are intended to mark progress in implementing the aims of the MyHealthEData initiative, which was announced earlier this month by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC).

Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) Outcomes 2016
Office of Statewide Health Planning & Development; Apr 25, 2018
The California Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) Program Report 2016, provides information the quality of elective PCIs at California general acute care hospitals certified to perform PCIs without on-site cardiac surgery. PCI is one of the most common cardiac revascularization procedures performed in the United States for the treatment of coronary artery disease. PCI procedures are less invasive than coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and may result in shorter hospital stays and return to daily activities.
Until recently, elective PCIs in California were prohibited in hospitals without on-site cardiac surgery. The Elective PCI Program was implemented in 2015 and eight hospitals were certified in 2016 to perform PCIs without on-site cardiac surgery.
