This measure captures the proportion of acute ischemic stroke patients who arrive at this hospital within 2 hours of time last known well for whom IV t-PA was initiated at this hospital within 3 hours of time last known well.

This measure captures the proportion of ischemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation/flutter who are prescribed anticoagulation therapy at hospital discharge.

This measure captures the proportion of ischemic stroke patients prescribed antithrombotic therapy at hospital discharge.

PC-05 assesses the rate of newborns exclusively fed breast milk during the newborn´s entire hospitalization. This measure is part of a set of four nationally implemented measures that address perinatal care (PC-01: Elective Delivery, ePC-01: Elective Delivery; PC-02: Cesarean Birth, ePC-02: Cesarean Birth will be added as an eCQM 1/1/2020; PC-05: Exclusive Breast Milk Feeding, ePC-05: Exclusive Breast Milk Feeding; PC-06 Unexpected Complications in Term Newborns was added 1/1/2019).

This measure assesses patients with elective vaginal deliveries or elective cesarean births at >= 37 and < 39 weeks of gestation completed. This measure is part of a set of four nationally implemented measures that address perinatal care (PC-01: Elective Delivery, ePC-01: Elective Delivery; PC-02: Cesarean Birth, ePC-02: Cesarean Birth will be added as an eCQM 1/1/2020; PC-05: Exclusive Breast Milk Feeding, ePC-05: Exclusive Breast Milk Feeding; PC-06 Unexpected Complications in Term Newborns was added 1/1/2019).

Percentage of patients aged 18 years and older with a BMI documented during the current encounter or during the previous twelve months AND with a BMI outside of normal parameters, a follow-up plan is documented during the encounter or during the previous twelve months of the current encounter
Normal Parameters: Age 18 years and older BMI >= 18.5 and < 25 kg/m2

The STS Mitral Valve Repair/Replacement (MVRR) + Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Composite Score measures surgical performance for MVRR + CABG with or without concomitant Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) and Patient Foramen Ovale (PFO) closures, tricuspid valve repair (TVr), or surgical ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). To assess overall quality, the STS MVRR +CABG Composite Score comprises two domains consisting of six measures:

Domain 1 – Absence of Operative Mortality

The STS Mitral Valve Repair/Replacement (MVRR) Composite Score measures surgical performance for isolated MVRR with or without concomitant tricuspid valve repair (TVr), surgical ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF), or repair of atrial septal defect (ASD). To assess overall quality, the STS MVRR Composite Score comprises two domains consisting of six measures:

Domain 1 – Absence of Operative Mortality

The STS Individual Surgeon Composite Measure for Adult Cardiac Surgery includes five major procedures (isolated CABG, isolated AVR, AVR+CABG, MVRR, MVRR+CABG) and comprises the following two domains:

Domain 1 – Risk-Adjusted Operative Mortality
Operative mortality is defined as death before hospital discharge or within 30 days of the operation.

Domain 2 – Risk-Adjusted Major Morbidity
Major morbidity is defined as the occurrence of any one or more of the following major complications:
1. Prolonged ventilation,
2. Deep sternal wound infection,

This measure is for the risk-adjusted Standardized Infection Ratio (SIR) for all Surgical Site Infections (SSI) following breast procedures conducted at ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) among adult patients (ages 18 - 108 years) and reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). The measure compares the reported number of surgical site infections observed at an ASC with a predicted value based on nationally aggregated data.
