Hint: it’s not good. A terrific article from Weingart and Faust.


If the drafted CMS measure goes into effect, we are hosed. Because data will be collected retrospectively, hundreds of patients will be deemed severe sepsis who were never actually sick.

Government organizations do not invent this stuff. Behind every measure there is, somewhere, a group of physicians that made it happen. Just as medical malpractice would not exist without plaintiff witnesses, these measures would not exist without us. Let’s fight back before it is too late.

Hint: it’s too late. Enjoy the people who wrote the tax code legislating your care.
