Health Care Paradox: Medicare Penalizes Dozens of Hospitals It Also Gives Five Stars<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to an article recently shared by Kaiser Health News (KHN), the federal government has penalized 764 hospitals for having the highest amount of patient infections and potentially avoidable complications, though more than 30 of those accounts are also rated as the best in the country by the same institution. These penalties result in a 1% reduction in Medicare payments over 12 months and are intended to make hospitals focus on reducing hip fractures, blood clots and surgical infections.<\/p>\n

Hospitals penalized this year include Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles; Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago; a Cleveland Clinic hospital in Ohio; and two Mayo Clinic hospitals in Minnesota and Phoenix. However, these hospitals have also received the highest rating of five stars from Medicare\u2019s Care Compare website.<\/p>\n

KHN analysis shows that over 2,000 hospitals have been penalized at least once since the Hospital-Acquired Condition Reduction Program began eight years ago, though \u201cresearchers have found little evidence that the penalties are getting hospitals to improve their efforts to avert bedsores, falls, infections, and other accidents.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very hard to capture patient safety with the surveillance methods we currently have,\u201d Andrew Ryan, a professor of health care management at the University of Michigan\u2019s School of Public Health states. Ryan, who has reviewed the program extensively, adds, \u201cyou\u2019re kind of asking hospitals to call out events that are going to have them lose money, so the incentives are really messed up for hospitals to fully disclose patient injuries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paradoja de la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica: Medicare penaliza a docenas de hospitales y tambi\u00e9n otorga cinco estrellas<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seg\u00fan un art\u00edculo compartido recientemente por Kaiser Health News (KHN), el gobierno federal ha sancionado a 764 hospitales por tener la mayor cantidad de infecciones de pacientes y complicaciones potencialmente evitables, aunque m\u00e1s de 30 de esas cuentas tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1n calificadas como las mejores del pa\u00eds. por la misma instituci\u00f3n. Estas multas dan como resultado una reducci\u00f3n del 1 % en los pagos de Medicare durante 12 meses y tienen como objetivo que los hospitales se centren en reducir las fracturas de cadera, los co\u00e1gulos sangu\u00edneos y las infecciones quir\u00fargicas.<\/p>\n

Los hospitales sancionados este a\u00f1o incluyen el Centro M\u00e9dico Cedars-Sinai en Los \u00c1ngeles; Hospital Northwestern Memorial en Chicago; un hospital de la Cl\u00ednica Cleveland en Ohio; y dos hospitales de Mayo Clinic en Minnesota y Phoenix. Sin embargo, estos hospitales tambi\u00e9n recibieron la calificaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s alta de cinco estrellas del sitio web Care Compare de Medicare.<\/p>\n

El an\u00e1lisis de KHN muestra que m\u00e1s de 2,000 hospitales han sido sancionados al menos una vez desde que comenz\u00f3 el Programa de Reducci\u00f3n de Condiciones Adquiridas en el Hospital hace ocho a\u00f1os, aunque “los investigadores han encontrado poca evidencia de que las sanciones est\u00e9n haciendo que los hospitales mejoren sus esfuerzos para evitar \u00falceras por dec\u00fabito, ca\u00eddas, infecciones y otros accidentes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEs muy dif\u00edcil capturar la seguridad del paciente con los m\u00e9todos de vigilancia que tenemos actualmente\u201d, afirma Andrew Ryan, profesor de gesti\u00f3n de la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica en la Escuela de Salud P\u00fablica de la Universidad de Michigan. Ryan, que revis\u00f3 el programa extensamente, agrega: “Est\u00e1s pidiendo a los hospitales que anuncien eventos que los har\u00e1n perder dinero, por lo que los incentivos son realmente malos para que los hospitales revelen completamente las lesiones de los pacientes”.<\/p>\n
