Number of hospital discharges from an acute care hospital (PPS or CAH) per 1000 FFS Medicare beneficiaries at the state and community level by quarter and year.
This hybrid measure estimates a hospital-level, 30-day risk-standardized mortality rate (RSMR) for patients discharged from the hospital with a principal discharge diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke. Mortality is defined as death from any cause within 30 days of the index admission date for stroke patients.
This measure estimates a hospital-level 30-day, all-cause, risk-standardized mortality rate (RSMR) for patients discharged from the hospital with a principal discharge diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The outcome is all-cause 30-day mortality, defined as death from any cause within 30 days of the index admission date, including in-hospital death, for AMI patients. The target population is Medicare Fee-for-Service beneficiaries who are 65 years or older.
The measure estimates a hospital-level 30-day risk-standardized mortality rate (RSMR), defined as death from any cause within 30 days after the index admission date for patients who are between the ages of 50 and 94.
This measure estimates a hospital-level, risk-standardized readmission rate (RSRR) of unplanned, all-cause readmission within 30 days of hospital discharge for any eligible condition. The measure reports a single summary RSRR, derived from the volume-weighted results of five different models, one for each of the following specialty cohorts based on groups of discharge condition categories or procedure categories: surgery/gynecology, general medicine, cardiorespiratory, cardiovascular, and neurology.
