Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CMS has published quality initiatives with the intent of supporting quality health care through public disclosure, making healthcare providers accountable for the quality of their care by releasing information about their performance to the public. This allows patients to make informed decisions about their healthcare and gives providers an incentive to improve the quality of their care. Claims denial and threat of imprisonment are not effective ways to promote quality healthcare, and ancillary incentives may not have a significant impact on healthcare quality.
