The percentage of adolescent patients (12 to 17 years of age) and adult patients (18 years of age or older) with major depression or dysthymia who reach remission six months (+/- 60 days) after an index visit.

This measure calculates the percentage of stress echocardiography, single photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (SPECT MPI), stress magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or computed coronary tomography angiography (CCTA) performed at each facility in the 30 days prior to an ambulatory non-cardiac, low-risk surgery performed at any location. The measure is calculated based on a one-year window of Medicare claims data.

Percentage of stress SPECT MPI, stress echo, CCTA, or CMR performed in low risk surgery patients for preoperative evaluation

Percentage of all stress SPECT MPI, stress echo, CCTA and CMR performed routinely after PCI, with reference to timing of test after PCI and symptom status.

Percentage of all stress SPECT MPI, stress echo, CCTA, and CMR performed in asymptomatic, low CHD risk patients for initial detection and risk assessment

For all eligible patients =18 years old admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), total duration of time spent in the ICU until time of discharge from the ICU; both observed and risk-adjusted LOS reported with the predicted LOS measured using the Intensive Care Outcomes Model - Length-of-Stay (ICOMLOS).

For all adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), the percentage of patients whose hospital outcome is death; both observed and risk-adjusted mortality rates are reported with predicted rates based on the Intensive Care Outcomes Model - Mortality (ICOMmort).

The percentage of patients with COPD who are found to improve their health-related quality of life score (HRQoL) as measured by a valid and reliable instrument after participating in pulmonary rehabilitation
(PR).

The percentage of patients with COPD who are found to increase their functional capacity by at least 25 meters (82 feet), as measured by a standardized 6 minute walk test (6MWT) after par-ticipating in pulmonary rehabilitation (PR).

Risk adjusted, case mix adjusted urinary tract infection outcome measure of adults 18+ years after surgical procedure.
