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
30-Day Unplanned Readmissions for Cancer Patients measure is a cancer-specific measure. It provides the rate at which adult cancer patients have an unplanned readmission within 30 days of discharge from an acute care hospital. The unplanned readmission is defined as a subsequent inpatient admission to a short-term acute care hospital, which occurs within 30 days of the discharge date of an eligible index admission and has an admission type of “emergency” or “urgent.”
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.
The Continuity of Care After Inpatient or Residential Treatment for Substance Use Disorder measure evaluates the percentage of discharges from inpatient or residential treatment for diagnoses of substance use disorders (SUD) among Medicaid or Medicare-Medicaid beneficiaries, aged 18 years and older, which were followed by a treatment service for SUD.
The University of California, Irvine (UCI) implemented and tested a CVD risk assessment tool that immediately identifies patients who are at increased risk for CVD or developing CVD. This tool can be integrated into the electronic health record (EHR) system.
This is an ACO-level measure of days at home or in community settings (that is, not in acute care such as inpatient hospital or emergent care settings or post-acute skilled nursing) among adult Medicare Fee-for-Service (FFS) beneficiaries with complex, chronic conditions who are attributed to ACOs participating in the ACO REACH model. The measure includes risk adjustment for differences in patient mix across ACOs, with an additional adjustment based on patients’ risk of death.
