Percent of High Risk Residents with Pressure Ulcers (Long Stay)

The numerator is the number of long-stay residents identified as high-risk with a selected MDS 3.0 target assessment (OBRA quarterly, annual or significant change/correction assessments or discharge assessment with or without return anticipated) in an episode during the selected target quarter reporting one or more Stage II-IV or unstageable pressure ulcer(s) at the time of assessment. . High-risk residents are those who are comatose (B0100 = [1]), or impaired in bed mobility (G0110A1 = [3, 4, 7, 8]) or transfer (G0110B1 = [3, 4, 7, 8]), or either experiencing malnutrition or at risk for malnutrition (I5600 = [1]). Unstageable pressure ulcers are pressure ulcers that are known to be present but are defined as unstageable due to either a non-removable dressing/device (M0300E1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9]), slough or eschar (M0300F1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9]), or a suspected deep tissue injury (M0300G1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9]).
