Acute Care Transfers Sample Clauses

Acute Care Transfers. UMMC plays a distinct role in the health care system by treating a large proportion of highly acute cases, accepting regional referrals, and serving as a center for clinical and technological innovation in the State. For global models to be successful in Maryland, UMMC must be seen as a statewide resource for tertiary and quaternary care. HSCRC staff believes that unique regulatory treatment must be given to specific clinical service lines at UMMC operating under a global model that will allow UMMC to function effectively within this new payment structure. By adapting the model to fit the needs of UMMC, more revenues can be included under global models, with the advantage of improving the predictability of revenue budgets along with the alignment of incentives to reduce avoidable volumes. Under GBR, hospitals are incentivized to lower expenses and volume by taking measures to reduce avoidable utilization and promote care management and quality improvement. This may result in community hospitals transferring complex cases to UMMC in order to get patients the advanced care they need and reduce the high costs associated with those patients. Utilizing UMMC as a regional referral center may lower the total cost of care and improve outcomes for critically ill patients and thus be beneficial to the entire Maryland health system. UMMC must have the capacity to take on the possible influx of complex cases without facing financial penalty under a global model. HSCRC staff is currently working with the industry to develop an approach to adjust GBR budgets of hospitals for changes in the level of transfers. HSCRC staff is evaluating transfers in from non-system hospitals to Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Hospital and University Hospital (including the Shock Trauma Center). The approach under development will involve monitoring of transfers-in. If transfers-in from a particular hospital increase beyond a set percentage (e.g., population based adjustment), it is expected that a fixed dollar amount per case will be charged to the GBR budget of the transferring hospital and credited to the GBR budget of the UMMC. Conversely, it is expected that reductions in transfers would result in reductions in the UMMC budget and possible increases in a particular hospital's budget at a fixed allowance. The expected numbers of cases and costs might be rebased to reflect changing conditions and case mix. This model will allow community hospitals to provide patients the advanced care they need and shift...
