Health Policy Notes
by  John CrosbyNo presence information  on 4/4/2012 5:23 PM

The 3/27/12 Kaiser Daily Health News reported that a federal judge has ruled that a Texas law limiting noneconomic damages in medical malpractice cases to $250,000 is constitutional, ending a four-year legal battle over whether the tort reform measure violated the U.S. Constitution.

The National Journal reported on 3/28/12 that a six-year study of two hospital systems—one that participated in the CMS pay-for-performance program and the other that did not—found that paying hospitals to improve the quality of care doesn’t appear to help patients survive any better

CMS is hosting a national call on the Physician Quality Reporting System & Electronic Prescribing Incentive Program 10-Month Feedback Report on 4/17/12 at 1:30 pm EST. Subject matter experts will provide an overview on the report, followed by a Q&A session. Register online​. ​
