Percentage of episodes with an International Normalized Ratio (INR) test performed three to seven days after a newly started interacting anti-infective medication for individuals receiving warfarin

A composite measure of in-hospital mortality indicators for selected conditions.
The quarterly incidence rate of falls amongst PACE participants per 1,000 participant days.
The quarterly incidence rate of falls with injury amongst PACE participants per 1,000 participant days.
Prevalence of PACE-acquired pressure ulcers/injuries (Stages 3, 4, unstageable, and deep tissue injury) among PACE participants in a quarter, expressed as persons with 1 or more pressure ulcers/injuries divided by the number of participants on the PACE organization’s census who resided in a home setting (home or assisted living facility)for at least one day during the quarter.
Participation in a multi-center, standardized data collection and feedback program that will establish national dose index benchmarks for designated examinations. The registry will eventually provide a comparison of practice or facility dose indices such as CTDIvol and DLP for specified examinations relative to national and regional benchmarks. Data is captured electronically from the images of CT examinations using Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standards and the Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) Radiation Exposure Monitoring (REM) profile.
Percentage of ASC admissions experiencing a fall in the ASC.
All documented falls, with or without injury, experienced by patients on eligible unit types in a calendar quarter. Reported as Total Falls per 1,000 Patient Days.
(Total number of falls / Patient days) X 1000
Measure focus is safety.
Target population is adult acute care inpatient and adult rehabilitation patients.
