This is a process measure of the annual proportion of eligible patients ≥ 18 years of age, who were prescribed aspirin, P2Y12 inhibitor, and statin at discharge following PCI with or without stenting.
Annual risk-adjusted standardized infection ratio (SIR) of observed over predicted deep incisional primary and organ/space surgical site infections (SSIs), over a 30-day post-operative surveillance period, among hospitalized adults who are >=18 year of age with a date of admission and date of discharge that are different calendar days, and the patient underwent a colon surgery (COLO) or abdominal hysterectomy (HYST) at an acute care hospital or oncology hospital. The 30-day postoperative surveillance period includes SSIs detected upon admission to the facility or a readmission to t
Percentage of individuals at least 18 years of age as of the beginning of the performance period with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder who had at least two prescriptions filled for any antipsychotic medication and who had a Proportion of Days Covered (PDC) of at least 0.8 for antipsychotic medications during the performance period.
Annual standardized infection ratio (SIR) of bloodstream infections (BSIs) among children and adults receiving maintenance hemodialysis at outpatient hemodialysis facilities. BSIs are defined as positive blood cultures for hemodialysis patients which are reported monthly by participating facilities. The SIR is reported for a yearly period (calendar year) and is calculated by dividing the number of observed BSIs by the number of predicted BSIs during the year.
Percentage of patients aged 18 years and older admitted to a hospital with a primary diagnosis of an acute myocardial infarction or chronic stable angina or who during hospitalization have undergone coronary artery bypass (CABG) surgery, a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), cardiac valve surgery (CVS), or cardiac transplantation who are referred to an early outpatient cardiac rehabilitation/secondary prevention program.
Annual risk-adjusted standardized infection ratio (SIR) of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) among adults and children hospitalized as inpatients at acute care hospitals, oncology hospitals, long-term acute care hospitals, and acute care rehabilitation hospitals. SIR is reported annually and is calculated by dividing the number of observed CAUTIs into the number of predicted CAUTIs.
Annual risk-adjusted standardized infection ratio (SIR) of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) among adults and children hospitalized as inpatients at acute care hospitals, critical access hospitals, oncology hospitals, and long-term acute care hospitals. SIR is reported annually and is calculated by dividing the number of observed CLABSIs by the number of predicted CLABSIs.
This is a weighted composite measure comprised of six component measures: three all-cause risk standardized outcome measures on all-cause mortality, bleeding, acute kidney injury and three process measures focused on discharge on guideline directed medical therapy, referral to a cardiac rehabilitation program and PCI performed within ninety minutes of symptoms for patients with acute myocardial infarctions. The target population includes adults (age 18 and greater) undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions. The timeframe for reporting will be a rolling four quarters.
Percentage of all patient months for adult patients (>= 18 years old) whose delivered peritoneal dialysis dose was a weekly Kt/V urea >= 1.7 (dialytic + residual).
The purpose of this meeting is for Recommendation Group members to discuss and share perspectives regarding the measures under endorsement review for their respective E&M committee. Endorsement voting occurs during these virtual meetings. Advisory Group members are invited to attend these Recommendation Group meetings to listen to the discussion. Measure developers/stewards are invited and encouraged to attend, as they will have the opportunity to respond to the Recommendation Group discussion during the meeting.
