Note from the ACDIS Interim Director

Down the rabbit hole into the FY 2023 IPPS final rule

by Laurie Prescott, RN, MSN, CCDS, CCDS-O, CDIP, CRC

Did you know 2023 is the Chinese Year of the Rabbit? Chinese astrology describes the rabbit as being gentle, quiet, elegant, and alert. Rabbits are also thought to be kind and very responsible. Really, rabbits sound like good friends to have. I have never referred to the inpatient prospective payment system (IPPS) as a good friend, but as I provide you with a summary of some of this year’s IPPS final rule, I will try to parallel this to rabbits and bunnies, just because it might add a little fun to what is otherwise a dry subject!
