The measure is designed to ascetain whether or not current insurance program coverage is adequate for the child´s health needs--whether the out of pocket expenses are reasonable; whether the child is limited or not in choice of doctors; and whether the benefits meet child´s healthcare needs.

The Patient Experience of Psychiatric Care as Measure by the Inpatient Consumer Survey (ICS) was developed to gather patient´s evaluation of their inpatient psychiatric care. The survey is composed of the following six individual measures or domains:

Participation in a multi-center, standardized data collection and feedback program that will establish national dose index benchmarks for designated examinations. The registry will eventually provide a comparison of practice or facility dose indices such as CTDIvol and DLP for specified examinations relative to national and regional benchmarks. Data is captured electronically from the images of CT examinations using Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standards and the Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) Radiation Exposure Monitoring (REM) profile.

Percent of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients who are prescribed a statin at hospital discharge.

Measures the quantitative number of days of school missed due to illness or condition among children and adolescents age 6-17 years.

This measure identifies patients 2 years of age and older with acute otitis externa who were or were not prescribed systemic antimicrobial therapy.

Brief Description of Measure: Percent of adult population aged 18+ years with Community Acquired Pneumonia who are followed for one-month, and have one or more potentially avoidable complication (PAC) during the episode time window. Please reference the attached document labeled NQF_PNE_all_codes_risk_adjustment_12_14_15.xls, in the tab labeled PACS I-9 & I-10 for a list of code definitions of PACs relevant to pneumonia.

Percent of adult population aged 18 + years who are admitted to a hospital with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), are followed for one-month after discharge, and have one or more potentially avoidable complications (PACs). PACs may occur during the index stay or during the 30-day post discharge period. Please reference attached document labeled NQF_AMI_all_codes_risk_adjustment_06.30.15.xls, in the tabs labeled PACs I-9 and PAC I-10 for a list of code definitions of PACs relevant to AMI.

We define PACs during each time period as one of two types:
