The AHA has extended to Jan. 29 the deadline for all hospitals to submit data to the quarterly RACTrac survey. The free web-based survey helps AHA measure the impact of Medicare's Recovery Audit Contractor program on hospitals and advocate for needed changes. For more information on the RACTrac initiative, visit www.aha.org/RACTrac. To register for the survey or for technical assistance, contact RACTrac support at (888) 722-8712 or ractracsupport@providercs.com.
