This measure scores a hospital on the incidence among its patients during the month following discharge from an inpatient stay having a primary diagnosis of PNA for three types of events: readmissions, ED visits and evaluation and management (E&M) services.
Number of rehospitalizations occurring within 30 days of discharge from an acute care hospital (prospective payment system (PPS) or critical access hospital (CAH)) per 1000 FFS Medicare beneficiaries at the state and community level by quarter and year.
The 30-Day Risk Standardized All-Cause Emergency Department Visit Following an Inpatient Psychiatric Facility (IPF) Discharge (IPF ED Visit) measure assesses the proportion of patients ages 18 and older with an emergency department (ED) visit, including observation stays, for any cause, within 30 days of discharge from an IPF, without subsequent admission. The IPF ED Visit measure is an outcome-based measure.
Percentage of heart failure (HF) patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) who are prescribed an ACEI or ARB at hospital discharge. For purposes of this measure, LVSD is defined as chart documentation of a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 40% or a narrative description of left ventricular systolic (LVS) function consistent with moderate or severe systolic dysfunction.
Percentage of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) who are prescribed an ACEI or ARB at hospital discharge. For purposes of this measure, LVSD is defined as chart documentation of a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 40% or a narrative description of left ventricular systolic (LVS) function consistent with moderate or severe systolic dysfunction.
Percentage of home health stays in which patients were admitted to an acute care hospital during the 60 days following the start of the home health stay.
The measure addresses adherence to angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs)/angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). The measure is reported as the percentage of eligible individuals with diabetes mellitus who had at least two prescriptions for ACEIs/ARBs and who have a Proportion of Days Covered (PDC) of at least 0.8 during the measurement period (12 consecutive months).
Average proportion of days covered (PDC) for individuals with antiplatelet therapy during the 12 months following implantation of a coronary artery drug-eluting stent (DES) or a bare-metal stent (BMS).
