TO HEAR AND INTERACT WITH
JOHN WELTON, PhD, RN

  
  Wednesday, June 27, 2007
North Carolina Memorial Hospital
Chapel Hill, North Carolina

1:00 - 2:00 pm Presentation of Research
and Proposed CMS Model

2:00 - 3:00 pm Interaction with Participants
to Explore Implementation of
Proposed Model
  
 
The current Part A inpatient prospective payment system (IPPS) uses the medical diagnosis as the sole determinant of payment - essentially ignoring the contribution of nurses to patient care at US hospitals. Recent studies have indicated that nursing care has both an independent outcome and cost function related to hospitalization.

Mr. Welton's nursing proposal meets the stated goal of CMS to align future hospital payment with actual costs expenditures by incorporating direct and indirect nursing costs for individual patients and uses nursing intensity for severity of illness adjustment. Data from the Medical University of South Carolina are used to map nursing intensity and nursing costs with the APR-DRG severity adjustment framework as a potential model. He is currently working with the AONE task force to accomplish the unbundling of nursing care from room and board revenue codes
