Percentage of patients, age = 18 and < 80 at diagnosis, who have their first diagnosis of cancer (epithelial malignancy) that is lymph node positive and at AJCC stage III, whose primary tumor is of the colon and chemotherapy was recommended or administered within 4 months (120 days) of diagnosis
Percentage of female patients, age = 18 at diagnosis, who have their first diagnosis of cancer (epithelial malignancy), at AJCC T1cN0M0 or stage IB to IIIC, whose primary tumor is of the breast, and is progesterone or estrogen receptor positive with adjuvant hormonal therapy (recommended or administered) within 1 year (365 days) of diagnosis
Facility adjusted Standardized Infection Ratio (SIR) and Adjusted Ranking Metric (ARM) for deep incisional and organ/space Surgical Site Infections (SSI) at the primary incision site among adult patients aged >= 18 years as reported through the CDC National Health and Safety Network (NHSN).
Standardized infection ratio (SIR) and Adjusted Ranking Metric (ARM) of hospital-onset CDI Laboratory-identified events (LabID events) among all inpatients in the facility, excluding well-baby nurseries and neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).
Percentage of female patients, age >= 18 and < 70 at diagnosis, who have their first diagnosis of cancer (epithelial malignancy), at AJCC stage T1cN0M0 or Stage IB - IIIC, whose primary tumor is of the breast, and progesterone and estrogen receptor negative is recommended or administered multi-agent chemotherapy within 4 months (120 days) of diagnosis
This measure reports the percentage of patients, regardless of age, with a diagnosis of painful bone metastases and no history of previous radiation who receive external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) with an acceptable fractionation scheme as defined by the guideline.
HCAHPS (NQF #0166) is a 29-item survey instrument that produces 10 publicly reported measures:
6 multi-item measures (communication with doctors, communication with nurses, responsiveness of hospital staff, communication about medicines, discharge information and care transition); and
4 single-item measures (cleanliness of the hospital environment, quietness of the hospital environment, overall rating of the hospital, and recommendation of hospital).
Percentage of healthcare personnel (HCP) who receive the influenza vaccination.
Standardized Infection Ratio (SIR) of healthcare-associated, catheter-associated urinary tract infections (UTI) will be calculated among patients in bedded inpatient care locations, except level II or level III neonatal intensive care units (NICU).
This includes acute care general hospitals, long-term acute care hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, oncology hospitals, and behavior health hospitals.
Standardized Infection Ratio (SIR) and Adjusted Ranking Metric (ARM) of healthcare-associated, central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) will be calculated among patients in bedded inpatient care locations.
This includes acute care general hospitals, long-term acute care hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, oncology hospitals, and behavioral health hospitals.
