  • Why sliding scale remains a reactive approach that contributes to variability, adverse outcomes, and workflow inefficiencies.
  • How CMS evaluates risk through outcomes reporting, not intent, and how sliding scale protocols can jeopardize performance.
  • Evidence-based alternatives and readiness strategies that hospitals are successfully adopting today.
