Dr. Ann Sheehy testified at the US House of Representatives Committee on Ways and Means Subcommitee on Health hearing on current hospital issues in the Medicare program last week. She spoke about the clinical impact of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services “2-midnight rule,” which classifies most hospital encounters of less than 2 midnights as observation.
