Prevent Standardized Waitlist Ratio (PSWR)

  • 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.

Preventive Care and Screening: Tobacco Use: Screening and Cessation Intervention

  • Percentage of patients aged 18 years and older who were screened for tobacco use one or more times within 24 months AND who received tobacco cessation intervention if identified as a tobacco user

    Three rates are reported:
    a. Percentage of patients aged 18 years and older who were screened for tobacco use one or more times within 24 months
    b. Percentage of patients aged 18 years and older who were identified as a tobacco user who received tobacco cessation intervention

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 observed over predicted rates for diagnosis of dementia

  • 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 observed over predicted rates for diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment

  • 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.
