Value-Based Purchasing Programs: These programs reward healthcare providers for delivering high-quality care and achieving positive patient outcomes. Infection Control and Prevention: CMS sets guidelines for infection control and prevention in healthcare settings to reduce healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).
