- Description
- A sources sought notice was posted on February 2, 2011 under SS-CMS-2011-STS-CABG. This notice is to inform industry of CMS's decision to make a Sole Source award to the Society of Thoracic Surgeons under FAR 6.302 and FAR 6.304. The purpose of the contract is to build a statistically risk adjusted hospital-level readmission measure for CABG using the existing hospital clinical data (more than 4 million surgical records) that the STS has collected from more than 90% of the cardiac surgery centers/hospitals in the nation. The clinical data submitted to the STS by hospitals and surgeons shall be validated and audited to ensure quality. The risk adjustment model shall be robust such that performance variation among hospitals will be demonstrated. The risk adjusted measure shall be suitable for CMS public reporting and value-based purchasing use.
