Abstract
Healthcare reform continues to generate changes that impact all facets of patient care. One of these impending changes is Value-Based Purchasing (VBP). VBP will create an incentive pool that will allow participating organizations to earn a specified amount based upon core measures and patient satisfaction, specifically measured by HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems). For the first time, reimbursement will be linked to nursing care. One healthcare organization's experience reveals distinct patient satisfaction differences between bariatric and non-bariatric surgical patients.
