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.
In-hospital deaths per 1,000 discharges with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair, ages 18 years and older. Includes metrics for discharges grouped by type of diagnosis and procedure. Excludes obstetric discharges and transfers to another hospital.
[NOTE: The software provides the rate per hospital discharge. However, common practice reports the measure as per 1,000 discharges. The user must multiply the rate obtained from the software by 1,000 to report in-hospital deaths per 1,000 hospital discharges.]
The number of hospital discharges with a procedure for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair for patients 18 years and older or obstetric patients. Includes optional metrics for the number of discharges grouped by rupture status and procedure type.
Accidental punctures or lacerations (secondary diagnosis) during procedure per 1,000 discharges for patients ages 17 years and younger. Includes metrics for discharges grouped by risk category. Excludes obstetric discharges, spinal surgery discharges, discharges with accidental puncture or laceration as a principal diagnosis, discharges with accidental puncture or laceration as a secondary diagnosis that is present on admission, normal newborns, and neonates with birth weight less than 500 grams.
To assess the use of and persistence to ACE inhibitors or Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) among members with CAD or other atherosclerotic vascular disease (i.e., peripheral arterial disease, atherosclerotic aortic disease and carotid artery disease) who are at high risk for coronary events during a one year period. High-risk comorbidities are defined as heart failure, hypertension, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease (excluding stage V and patients on dialysis).
