The number of hospital discharges with a procedure of partial or total pancreatic resection for patients 18 years and older or obstetric patients. Excludes acute pancreatitis admissions.
Participation in a systematic qualified clinical database registry involves:
a. Physician or other clinician submits standardized data elements to registry
b. Data elements are applicable to consensus endorsed quality measures
c. Registry measures shall include at least two (2) representative NQF consensus endorsed measures for registry's clinical topic(s) and report on all patients eligible for the selected measures.
d. Registry provides calculated measures results, benchmarking, and quality improvement information to individual physicians and clinicians.
Participation in at least one multi-center, standardized data collection and feedback program for pediatric and congenital heart surgery that provides benchmarking of the physician’s data relative to national and regional programs and uses process and outcome measures.
This Registry should be capable of
a. generating population based reports relating to published guideline goals or benchmarking data
b. providing comparisons to the practitioner
c. providing feedback that is related to guideline goals
d. capturing data for one or more chronic disease conditions (i.e. diabetes) or preventive care measures (i.e. USPTF recommendations) for all patients eligible for the measures
Participation in a clinical database with broad state, regional, or national representation, that provides regular performance reports based on benchmarked data
Participation in a multi-center data collection and feedback program that provides benchmarking of the physician’s data relative to national programs and uses structural, process, and outcome measures.
Participation in a multi-center, standardized data collection and feedback program that will establish national dose index benchmarks for designated examinations. The registry will eventually provide a comparison of practice or facility dose indices such as CTDIvol and DLP for specified examinations relative to national and regional benchmarks. Data is captured electronically from the images of CT examinations using Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standards and the Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) Radiation Exposure Monitoring (REM) profile.
