CMS hospital harm mandates are raising the stakes for inpatient glycemic control
Hospitals are now operating in the year CMS has mandated reporting for two Electronic Clinical Quality Measures (eCQMs) tied to severe hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, with Medicare reimbursement implications beginning in fiscal year 2028.
For CNOs, CMOs and quality leaders, that raises an urgent question: Is your hospital prepared to monitor, manage and report on these events effectively?
This guide outlines what hospital leaders should understand about the proposed CMS hospital harm measures and what stronger inpatient glycemic control may require across care teams and units.
Learnings in this guide include:
- The definitions and components of the severe hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia eCQMs
- Key considerations tied to qualifying events, exclusions and reporting
- Best practice recommendations for inpatient glycemic control
- How insulin dosing software can support safer, more patient-specific glycemic management
As hospitals focus on reducing preventable harm and protecting reimbursement, this resource offers a practical look at the measures, the operational challenges behind them and the strategies leaders can use to strengthen glycemic safety reporting readiness.
