April 29 Webinar Explains How Your Hospital Can Impact Future HAI Payment Policy

Preventing Avoidable Infectious Complications by Adjustment Payment --A  New Opportunity to Shape Future Policy Participants are needed for an AHRQ-funded study to evaluate the impact of  Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) payment policies on  hospital infection rates. Conducted by Harvard researchers, the Preventing  Avoidable Infectious Complications by Adjustment Payment (PAICAP) study  is recruiting hospitals to provide information that would inform future policy decisions.   Researchers are using existing National Healthcare Safety Network data already  collected by participants; no additional data collection is needed. Participation  includes 5-10 minutes for sign up and the option to attend an annual webinar on  preliminary study findings. Join an informational webinar on April 29, 2016 from  12:00-1:00 pm ET to find out more.  Go to http://www.paicap.org/goals.html to RSVP or  email the team atpaicap@hphc.org.  Details about the study are available at www.paicap.org.
