The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) reimbursement policy identified 11
preventable adverse outcomes. Of these 11 patient outcomes, four (severe pressure ulcers, falls and trauma, catheter-associated
urinary tract infections, and vascular catheter-associated infections) are considered nursing-sensitive quality outcomes that
can be decreased with greater and better nursing care. A cross-sectional study examined the CMS reimbursement policy
focusing on nursing-sensitive adverse patient outcomes. The percentage of Medicare patients served as a proxy for a
measure of the CMS changes in reimbursement. The CMS reimbursement policy measured by the proxy variable
was not related to a reduction of the four adverse outcomes.
