Overview
The HSCRC’s Admission-Readmission Revenue (ARR) arrangement is a voluntary revenue constraint program developed by the HSCRC, which provides hospitals with a financial incentive to more effectively coordinate care and reduce unnecessary readmissions to their facilities. ARR arrangements apply to regulated hospital inpatient services and charges only. The methodology results in the establishment of an Admission-Readmission Revenue constraint, which builds upon each Hospital’s HSCRC approved inpatient unit rates. The ARR agreement imposes a case mix adjusted standard bundled Admission-Readmission Charge Per Episode (ARR-CPE) target for each ARR hospital, which applies to inpatient admissions and subsequent readmissions.
