Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting

This measure estimates a hospital-level, risk-standardized readmission rate (RSRR) of unplanned, all-cause readmission within 30 days of discharge from an index admission with an eligible condition or procedure. 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.

Inpatients age 6 months and older discharged during October, November, December, January, February or March who are screened for influenza vaccine status and vaccinated prior to discharge if indicated.

Percentage of healthcare personnel (HCP) who receive the influenza vaccination.

Percentage of Immunocompetent patients with Community-Acquired Pneumonia who receive an initial antibiotic regimen during the first 24 hours that is consistent with current guidelines

Median time from emergency department arrival to time of departure from the emergency room for patients admitted to the facility from the emergency department

The MSPB Hospital measure evaluates hospitals’ risk-adjusted episode costs relative to the risk-adjusted episode costs of the national median hospital. Specifically, the MSPB Hospital measure assesses the cost to Medicare for Part A and Part B services performed by hospitals and other healthcare providers during an MSPB Hospital episode, which is comprised of the periods 3-days prior to, during, and 30-days following a patient’s hospital stay. The MSPB Hospital measure is not condition specific and uses standardized prices when measuring costs.

Standardized infection ratio (SIR) and Adjusted Ranking Metric (ARM)of hospital-onset unique blood source MRSA Laboratory-identified events (LabID events) among all inpatients in the facility

Participation in a clinical database with broad state, regional, or national representation, that provides regular performance reports based on benchmarked data

Inpatients age 65 years and older and 5-64 years of age who have a high risk condition who are screened for Pneumococcal Vaccine status and vaccinated prior to discharge if indicated.
