The Global Malnutrition Composite Score (GMCS) is now included in CMS’ Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting Program!
Beginning in 2024, Hospitals can elect to report on GMCS as one of three voluntary self-selected eCQMs.
– Improved Patient Outcomes
– Targeted Data Insights
– Reduced Readmissions
– Average of $5,000 per Patient Additional Reimbursement
Reporting period begins Jan 1, 2024 and preparation can take a year or more.
Implementing the Morrison Malnutrition tool is a great first step.
