This measure reports the percentage of low risk, long-stay residents who have had an indwelling catheter in the last seven days prior to the assessment reference date on the target assessment. In this case, low-risk refers to residents who do not have preexisting conditions, such as neurogenic bladder or obstructive uropathy, which predispose catheter use. This measure is based on data from the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 OBRA, PPS, and/or discharge assessments during the selected quarter. Long-stay nursing home residents are identified as those who have had 101 or more cumulative days of nursing home care.
