Median time from admit decision time to time of departure from the emergency department for emergency department patients admitted to inpatient status
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).
This measure assesses the percentage of patients 18 years of age and older who received a least 180 treatment days of ambulatory medication therapy for a select therapeutic agent during the measurement year and at least one therapeutic monitoring event for the therapeutic agent in the measurement year. Report the following three rates and a total rate:
Percent of patients aged 18 years and older undergoing isolated CABG who were discharged on a lipid lowering statin
The percentage of children under age 5 who were dispensed antipsychotic medications during the measurement period.
Percentage of female patients 50 to 64 years of age without select risk factors for osteoporotic fracture who received an order for a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan during the measurement period.
Proportion of heart failure patients age 18 and older with LVSD for whom beta-blocker therapy (i.e., bisoprolol, carvedilol, or sustained-release metoprolol succinate) is prescribed at discharge. For purposes of this measure, LVSD is defined as chart documentation of a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 40% or a narrative description of left ventricular systolic (LVS) function consistent with moderate or severe systolic dysfunction.
Percentage of breast cancer resection pathology reports that include the pT category (primary tumor), the pN category (regional lymph nodes) and the histologic grade.
Percentage of adults 65 years and older who had a medication review during the measurement year. A medication review is a review of all a patient’s medications, including prescription medications, over-the-counter (OTC) medications and herbal or supplemental therapies by a prescribing practitioner or clinical pharmacist.
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).
