The PointRight Pro Long Stay Hospitalization Measure is an MDS-based, risk-adjusted measure of the rate of hospitalization of long-stay patients (also known as “residents”) of skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) averaged across the year, weighted by the number of stays in each quarter.
The total number of patients that have hospital-acquired (nosocomial) category/stage II or greater pressure ulcers on the day of the prevalence measurement episode.
Percentage of patients aged 6 months and older seen for a visit between October 1 and March 31 who received an influenza immunization OR who reported previous receipt of an influenza immunization
Performance Measure Name: Procedures and Tests
Description: Patients who are transferred from an ED to another healthcare facility have communicated with the receiving facility within 60 minutes of discharge a list of tests done and results sent.
Total number of patients that have vest and/or limb restraint (upper or lower body or both) on the day of the prevalence measurement episode.
The average (geometric mean) hospital length of stay in days relative to the expected geometric mean length of stay of any well defined population of inpatients over a specified time interval
Percentage of discharges from an inpatient facility (eg, hospital inpatient or observation, skilled nursing facility, or rehabilitation facility) to home or any other site of care, of patients, regardless of age, for which a transition record was transmitted to the facility or primary physician or other health care professional designated for follow-up care within 24 hours of discharge
Total Cost of Care reflects a mix of complicated factors such as patient illness burden, service utilization and negotiated prices. Total Cost Index (TCI) is a measure of a primary care provider’s risk adjusted cost effectiveness at managing the population they care for. TCI includes all costs associated with treating members including professional, facility inpatient and outpatient, pharmacy, lab, radiology, ancillary and behavioral health services.
The Resource Use Index (RUI) is a risk adjusted measure of the frequency and intensity of services utilized to manage a provider group’s patients. Resource use includes all resources associated with treating members including professional, facility inpatient and outpatient, pharmacy, lab, radiology, ancillary and behavioral health services.
A Resource Use Index when viewed together with the Total Cost of Care measure (NQF-endorsed #1604) provides a more complete picture of population based drivers of health care costs.
Percentage of all pediatric (less than 18 years old) in-center hemodialysis, home hemodialysis, and peritoneal dialysis patients with hemoglobin less than 11.0 g/dL and in whom serum ferritin concentration was less than 100 ng/ml and TSAT less than 20% who received IV iron or were prescribed oral iron within the following three months.
