Free Abstract

Murray D et al. - To help reduce conflicting incentives and better coordinate care, hospitals and physicians participating in CMS' Acute Care Episode (ACE) demonstration will receive a single bundled payment for Part A and Part B Medicare services provided during an inpatient stay. If the demonstration is successful, hospitals, doctors, and patients will share in the savings generated by greater efficiency and better quality care.
