Question

what cms program monetarily rewards or penalizes healthcare organizations based on their performance on specific quality care measures? select an answer: - patient satisfaction program - patient safety program - readmissions reduction program - value - based purchasing

Explanation:

The CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) Value - based purchasing program is designed to monetarily reward or penalize healthcare organizations based on their performance on specific quality care measures. The other options: the Patient satisfaction program mainly focuses on patient satisfaction surveys, not direct monetary rewards/penalties based on quality care measures; the Patient safety program is about promoting patient safety initiatives rather than this kind of performance - based monetary incentive; the Readmissions reduction program is focused on reducing hospital readmissions, and while it has financial implications, it is more narrow in scope compared to value - based purchasing which encompasses a broader range of quality care measures.

Answer:

D. Value - based purchasing
