Percentage of patients aged 18 years and older for whom PCI is performed who are prescribed optimal medical therapy at discharge
The Promoting Healthy Development Survey (PHDS) is a 43-item parent survey that can be used by health care providers, health systems, Medicaid agencies, and other stakeholders to measure and improve the quality of preventive and developmental care for children ages 0-48 months. The survey is designed to measure parent’s experience with care and the extent to which they received preventative and developmental services in accordance with nationally recommended guidelines put forth by the American Academy of Pediatrics and Bright Futures practice guidelines (3rd edition).1
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:
The STS Lobectomy Composite Score comprises two domains:
1. Operative Mortality (death during the same hospitalization as surgery or within 30 days of the procedure)
2. Presence of at least one of these major complications: pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, bronchopleural fistula, pulmonary embolus, initial ventilator support greater than 48 hours, reintubation/respiratory failure, tracheostomy, myocardial infarction, or unexpected return to the operating room.
Percentage of patients aged 18 years and older who were screened at least once within the last 24 months for tobacco use, unhealthy alcohol use, nonmedical prescription drug use, and illicit drug use AND who received an intervention for all positive screening results
Percentage of intensive care unit patients on mechanical ventilation
at time of survey for whom all five elements of the ventilator bundle are documented and in place. The ventilator bundle elements are:
•Head of bed (HOB) elevation 30 degrees or greater (unless medically contraindicated)
•Daily “”sedation interruption” and daily assessment of readiness to extubate •Peptic ulcer disease prophylaxis
•Deep Venous Thrombosis prophylaxis
