The PSWR measure tracks the number of prevalent dialysis patients in a practitioner (inclusive of physicians and advanced practice providers) group who are under the age of 75 and were listed on the kidney or kidney-pancreas transplant waitlist or received a living donor transplant. For each practitioner group, the Prevalent Standardized Waitlist Ratio (PSWR) is calculated to compare the observed number of waitlist events in a practitioner group to its expected number of waitlist events.

The measure captures the ratio of the number of patients, who are attributed to a clinician or practice, with a diagnosis of any stage of cognitive impairment over the expected number of cases based on a predictive model. Once the clinician’s or practice’s O/E ratio (i.e., ratio of the observed and expected rates) is calculated, a computation of its associated standard error (SE) can be used to draw inference whether the O/E ratio is significantly different from 1 or not.

CBE ID

3729

Ratio of the number of patients 65 and older diagnosed with dementia attributed to a clinician or practice over the number of cases predicted based on the demographic profile of that clinician or practice. Once the clinician’s or practice’s O/E ratio (i.e., ratio of the observed and expected rates) is calculated, a computation of its associated standard error (SE) can be used to draw inference whether the O/E ratio is significantly different from 1 or not.

CBE ID

3672

Ratio of the number of patients 65 and older diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment attributed to a clinician or practice over the number predicted based on the demographic profile of that clinician or practice. Once the clinician’s or practice’s O/E ratio (i.e., ratio of the observed and expected rates) is calculated, a computation of its associated standard error (SE) can be used to draw inference whether the O/E ratio is significantly different from 1 or not.

This measure assesses nephrology practices who care for adult Medicare Fee-for-Service (FFS) beneficiaries with late-stage CKD and ESRD.
