(2) To qualify for incentive payments, eligible hospitals must meet the performance standards and measures as determined by the Authority.

(3) The Authority will:

(a) Establish baselines and targets for performance measures;

(b) Post the data specs and formats, forms to be used, schedule and frequency of data submission, frequency of incentive distributions, and other technical information on the Authority's website once determined;

(c) Analyze performance data submitted by hospitals;
