This ratio measure assesses the number of inpatient hospitalizations where at least one fall with a major or moderate injury occurs among the total qualifying inpatient hospital days for patients aged 18 years and older.
This electronic clinical quality measure (eCQM) assesses the proportion of elective inpatient hospitalizations for patients aged 18 years and older without an obstetrical condition who have a procedure resulting in postoperative respiratory failure (PRF).
This measure provides hospital specific risk-standardized rates of procedural complications following the implantation of an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) in patients at least 65 years of age. The measure uses clinical data available in the National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) Electrophysiology Device Implant Registry (EPDI - formerly the ICD Registry) for risk adjustment linked with administrative claims data using indirect patient identifiers to identify procedural complications.
Hospital Visits after Hospital Outpatient Surgery measures facility-level risk-standardized rate of acute, unplanned hospital visits within 7 days of a procedure performed at a hospital outpatient department (HOPD) among Medicare Fee-For-Service (FFS) patients aged 65 years and older. An unplanned hospital visit is defined as an emergency department (ED) visit, observation stay, or unplanned inpatient admission.
This measure estimates hospital-level, risk-standardized payments for an elective primary total THA/TKA episode of care, starting with an inpatient admission to a short-term acute care facility and extending 90 days post admission for Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) patients who are 65 years of age or older.

This measure looks at the percentage of patient visits, regardless of patient age, with a diagnosis of cancer currently receiving chemotherapy or radiation therapy in which pain intensity is quantified.
This eCQM is an episode-based measure. An episode is defined as each eligible encounter for patients with a diagnosis of cancer who are also currently receiving chemotherapy or radiation therapy during the measurement period.
This measure looks at the percentage of patient visits, regardless of patient age, with a diagnosis of cancer currently receiving chemotherapy or radiation therapy in which pain intensity is quantified. This measure is to be submitted at each denominator eligible visit occurring during the performance period for patients with a diagnosis of cancer who are seen during the performance period / measurement period. The time period for data collection is intended to be 12 consecutive months.
This measure looks at the percentage of visits for patients, regardless of age, with a diagnosis of cancer currently receiving chemotherapy or radiation therapy who report having pain with a documented plan of care to address pain. This measure is to be submitted at each denominator eligible visit occurring during the performance period for patients with a diagnosis of cancer and in which pain is present who are seen during the performance period / measurement period. The time period for data collection is intended to be 12 consecutive months.
