Global partnerships advance the regulatory science that protects public health

Global partnerships advance the regulatory science that protects public health-politico: Premier has identified 86 hospital acquired conditions that harm patients and raise costs — far more than the list CMS uses to adjust hospital payments. The hospital safety study was based on a Premier Inc. examination of 5.5 million hospital discharge records from 2013. It identified 86 potential inpatient complications associated with increased risk of mortality, length of stay and cost. The research was published in the American Journal of Medical Quality.
