NC and SC Hospitals Penalized for Patient Safety

Medicare is penalizing 721 hospitals nationwide with high rates of potentially avoidable medical mistakes that can harm patients, known as “hospital-acquired conditions.”

Penalized hospitals will have their Medicare payments reduced by 1 percent over the fiscal year that runs from October 2014 through September 2015.

To determine penalties, Medicare evaluated three types of hospital-acquired conditions.

  • CLABSIs – Central-Line Associated Bloodstream Infections
  • CAUTIs – Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections
  • Other Serious Complications – including blood clots, bedsores, and falls
