Eighty-five percent (85%) of all traditional Medicare payments may be linked to quality or value outcomes by 2016 with the number growing to 90% by 2018.1 Through the Hospital Value Based Purchasing and Hospital Readmissions Reduction Programs, providers of care will be focused on increasing the quality of care to meet these Medicare objectives. In support of these goals, adopting enteral nutrition evidence based resources and protocols can demonstrate the value nutrition can play in helping hospitals to achieve these goals.

DECREASE RISK FOR SURGICAL SITE INFECTIONS
Hospital Acquired Conditions (HAC) may put Medicare reimbursement levels at risk as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) does not pay for incremental costs related to the treatment of a HAC.3 Recognizing that up to 54% of all hospital acquired infections (HAI) occur in high-risk surgery populations,4 implementing an evidence based, peri-operative nutrition protocol incorporating the use of IMPACT ADVANCED RECOVERY® and IMPACT® PEPTIDE 1.5 formulas may help reduce the risk for surgery site infections.
