Total Normalized Composite vs Discharge Function

What’s now and what’s new? The Total Normalized Composite (TNC) is currently 17.5% of the Total Performance Score (TPS) of Value-Based Purchasing (VBP), but the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) is implementing drastic changes. Even though CMS is omitting the TNC from its programs and replacing it with the Discharge Function score, the TNC scores are still important through performance year 2024.
