This is the case and before October you can expect programming from the SSC to describe the new 6-hour bundle that no longer makes CVP and scvo2 a requirement.

Has anyone else heard about this and what steps are other institutions taking to prepare for this? Also, are you planning, if you currently do so, to continue submitting data to the SSC database and then also using whatever software you currently use to submit the CMS measures? Any thoughts and feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your time and willingness to share!
