CMS has announced results of demonstration programs for large physician practices, small and solo physician practices and hospitals, in which the agency pays providers for meeting certain quality markers, according to a press release from CMS.
CMS also announced three new demonstration programs: the Nursing Home Value-Based Purchasing Demonstration, the Medicare Hospital Gainsharing Demonstration and the Physician Hospital Collaboration Demonstration.
The gainsharing and physician hospital collaboration programs will evaluate gainsharing, in which physicians work with hospitals to share profits associated with reducing wasteful spending.
