- Sepsis Readmissions May Be Correctable. It might be possible to prevent many of the hospital readmissions that occur after treatment for severe sepsis.
- Medicare Launching New ACO Program. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is launching a “Next Generation” accountable care organization (ACO) that the agency hopes will be more attractive to Medicare providers.
