Hospital-level measure scores are calculated as a risk-adjusted proportion of the number of delivery hospitalizations for women who experience a severe obstetric complication, as defined by the numerator, by the total number of delivery hospitalizations in the denominator during the measurement period.
Number of discharges with a procedure for esophageal resection
Percentage of all adult (>= 18 years old) patients in the sample for analysis who have been on hemodialysis for 90 days or more and dialyzing thrice weekly, and have a residual renal function (if measured in the last three months) less than 2 ml/min/1.73m2), whose delivered dose of hemodialysis (calculated from the last measurements of the month using the UKM or Daugirdas II formula) was a spKt/V >= 1.2 during the reporting period.
The measure focuses on resources used to deliver episodes of care for patients who have undergone a Hip/Knee Replacement. Hip Replacement and Knee Replacement episodes are initially defined using the Episode Treatment Groups (ETG) methodology and describe the unique presence of the condition for a patient and the services involved in diagnosing, managing and treating the condition. The Procedure Episode Group (PEG) methodology uses the ETG results and further logic to creating a procedure episode that focuses on the Hip Replacement and Knee Replacement component of the care.
Percentage of actively enrolled home-based primary care and palliative care patients who received an assessment of their cognitive ability.
Percentage of actively enrolled home-based primary care and palliative care patients who receive an ADL and IADL assessment.
*Basic ADLs must include but are not limited to: bathing, transferring, toileting, and feeding; Instrumental ADLs (IADL) must include but are not limited to: telephone use and managing own medications
This electronic clinical quality measure (eCQM) provides a standardized method for monitoring the performance of diagnostic CT to discourage unnecessarily high radiation doses, a risk factor for cancer, while preserving image quality. It is expressed as a percentage of eligible CT exams that are out-of-range based on having either excessive radiation dose or inadequate image quality, relative to evidence-based thresholds based on the clinical indication for the exam.
