The MSPB Hospital measure evaluates hospitals’ risk-adjusted episode costs relative to the risk-adjusted episode costs of the national median hospital. Specifically, the MSPB Hospital measure assesses the cost to Medicare for Part A and Part B services performed by hospitals and other healthcare providers during an MSPB Hospital episode, which is comprised of the periods 3-days prior to, during, and 30-days following a patient’s hospital stay. The MSPB Hospital measure is not condition specific and uses standardized prices when measuring costs.
