Potential partners for quality improvement released
Feb. 5, 2008. COLUMBIA, Mo.—Today the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) publicly released a list of potential partners for federally funded quality improvement efforts through Primaris, a nonprofit health care firm based in Columbia.
In fall 2008, Primaris will launch several CMS-funded efforts. Among these will be projects to reduce surgical infections, bed sores and the use of restraints. For these campaigns, the federal agency CMS has narrowed the field of those eligible to those announced today.
“Funding is limited – Primaris can only work with a limited number of facilities. This offers an opportunity for these nursing homes and hospitals to take advantage of this valuable Medicare resource,” said Gregg Laiben, MD, Primaris medical director.
Twenty-five Missouri hospitals are eligible for participation in the upcoming Surgical Care Improvement Project. This effort expands on a previous project of the same name. Work includes improving the timing of antibiotics and replacing razors used to shave surgical sites – which result in tiny cuts that can encourage infection – with electric clippers.
Among Missouri nursing homes, 152 are eligible to participate in one or both of two upcoming initiatives. The first will work toward reducing bed sores among high-risk residents. The second will reduce the use of physical restraints.
CMS selected the facilities for these projects by reviewing the recent publicly reported quality measure results, which are publicly available on the "Hospital Compare" and "Nursing Home Compare" Web sites at www.medicare.gov.
Participation in these Primaris quality improvement projects will be voluntary.
