Changes in health care, such as rising costs and revised reimbursement practices like the hospital Value Based Purchasing program, have resulted in a heightened focus on quality of care. Hospital performance, measured by patient outcomes such as hospital acquired conditions and readmission rates, has affected reimbursement rates since 2012 and is publicly reported. Good patient outcomes also have the benefit of reducing a hospital's average length of stay (LOS), thus lowering the cost of care.
