New hospital incentives with payment limits

Colorado ends its former hospital reform incentive program and shifts related funding rules to the Hospital Quality Incentive Program. The program rewards hospital performance and must include a workplace-violence measure. Annual payments are capped at 7% of total hospital reimbursements from the prior state budget year; the ceiling can rise to 9% after formal board approval of a program developed with input from hospital representatives with clinical expertise. Before implementation, the board must approve the payment percentage, program structure, measures, and scoring method. The program requires federal approval and enough funding, and spending from the hospital provider fee fund requires yearly state approval.
