Hospital-Wide, 30-Day, All-Cause Unplanned Readmission (HWR) Rate for the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System Groups

The 30-day Hospital-Wide, All-Cause Unplanned Readmission (HWR) Rate for the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) Groups measure is a risk-standardized readmission rate for beneficiaries age 65 or older who were hospitalized and experienced an unplanned readmission for any cause to a short-stay acute-care hospital within 30 days of discharge. The measure attributes readmissions to up to three MIPS participating clinician groups, as identified by their Medicare Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) and assesses each group鈥檚 readmission rate. This clinician group-level, risk-standardized, all-cause unplanned readmission measure is a re-specified version of the hospital-level measure, 鈥淗ospital-wide Allcause Unplanned Readmission Measure鈥 (NQF 1789), which is currently reported within the Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR) program. This measure will replace the existing All-Cause Readmission (ACR) measure currently in use in QPP.
