By Claire Thayer, June 25, 2012

In October, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will launch its value-based purchasing program for hospitals. Part of the Affordable Care Act, this program is an ambitious initiative intended to improve patient outcomes by encouraging hospitals to closely follow best clinical practices.  Join Payers & Providers on Wednesday this week for an examination of what hospitals are doing to prepare for this new initiative.
