Washington, DC -- Congresswoman Michele Bachmann congratulated Fairview Northland Regional Hospital on being named one of the top performers in a groundbreaking Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Premier Inc. pay-for-performance project that rewards hospitals for delivering higher quality care in five clinical areas. Fairview Princeton Clinic and Fairview Lakes Medical Center in Wyoming will both receive bonuses.
“This is tremendous news for the communities and patients that Fairview Northland Regional Hospital serves,” said Bachmann. “I am grateful to have a hospital in my district that has shown national leadership in delivering high-quality and efficient care to its patients. I congratulate Fairview Northland Regional Hospital on this outstanding achievement and look forward to working with them in the future.”
Fairview Northland Regional Hospital was rated as a top performer based on its second-year, overall quality score in one or more of the clinical focus areas tracked by the CMS/Premier Hospital Quality Incentive demonstration projects. Those five areas are: acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, coronary artery bypass graft, pneumonia, and hip and knee replacement. Based on its high quality score, Fairview Northland Regional Hospital will receive a bonus payment from CMS, which awarded incentive payments of $8.7 million to 115 top-performing hospitals.
