The ICH CAHPS Survey is designed to measure the experiences of people receiving in-center hemodialysis care from Medicare-certified dialysis centers. The survey is designed to meet the following three broad goals:
Percentage of home health episodes of care during which the patient improved in ability to ambulate. This is a rate/proportion measure targeted at older adults with multiple chronic conditions during home health quality of care episodes.
Percentage of home health episodes of care during which the patient got better at bathing self. This is a rate/proportion measure targeted at elderly individuals with multiple chronic conditions during home health quality of care episodes.
Percentage of home health episodes of care during which the patient got better at getting in and out of bed. This is a rate/proportion measure targeted at elderly individuals with multiple chronic conditions during home health quality of care episodes.
Percentage of home health episodes of care during which the patient improved in ability to take their medicines correctly, by mouth. This is a rate/proportion measure targeted at elderly individuals with multiple chronic conditions during home health quality of care episodes.
This measure estimates a hospital-level risk standardized mortality rate (RSMR) in adult patients without cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest undergoing PCI. The outcome is defined as in-hospital mortality following a PCI procedure performed during the episode of care. Mortality is defined as death for any cause during the episode of care.
The Inappropriately Broad Empiric Antibiotic Selection for Adult Hospitalized Patients with Uncomplicated Pneumonia measure is a process measure representing the annual percentage of hospitalized adults with uncomplicated community-acquired pneumonia. Here, we defined “inappropriately broad” as any antibiotic therapy targeting methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or Pseudomonas aeruginosa in patients without risk factors for one of those organisms.
The percentage of individuals ≥18 years of age with ≥1 initial opioid prescriptions for >7 cumulative days’ supply during the measurement year.
This measure evaluates the extent primary care physicians (PCPs) provide care-based and procedural-based services core to primary care. For each PCP, the resulting value reflects an average of the weighted proportion of services within each category provided during the measurement period.
