Ratio of observed over predicted rates for diagnosis of cognitive impairment of any stage

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.

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.

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.

The Risk Standardized Mortality Ratio for Late-Stage CKD and ESRD is an outcome measure to assess how well providers prevent mortality among patients with stage 4 or 5 CKD or ESRD. This measure assesses nephrology practices who care for adult Medicare Fee-for-Service (FFS) beneficiaries with late-stage CKD and ESRD.

This metric is designed to measure the critical care transport team's utilization of waveform capnography during critical care medical transport. Waveform capnography has evolved as the standard for the safe placement and maintenance of advanced airways (e.g., endotracheal tubes) in adult and pediatric patients. The metric specifically focuses on transported patients with advanced airways in whom continuous waveform capnography is appropriately used. This metric is stratified by age into the following three categories: neonatal (defined as infants <29 days), pediatric (
