The SNFRM estimates the risk-standardized rate of all-cause, unplanned hospital readmissions for Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) beneficiaries within 30 days of discharge from a prior proximal acute hospitalization. The prior proximal hospitalization is defined as an admission to an IPPS, CAH, psychiatric, or cancer hospital. The measure is risk-adjusted for patient demographics, principal diagnosis from the prior hospitalization, comorbidities, and other health status variables that affect the probability of a hospital readmission.
SNF HAI is a one-year outcome measure that estimates the risk-standardized rate of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) that are acquired during SNF care and result in hospitalization.
Ratio of observed to expected major adverse events (MAE) among patients undergoing congenital cardiac catheterization, risk-adjusted using the Catheterization for Congenital Heart Disease Adjustment for Risk Method II (CHARM II).
This measure is a ratio of observed to expected rate of in-hospital mortality following non-cardiac surgery among infants <= 30 days of age, risk-adjusted.
The Standardized Readmission Ratio (SRR) for a dialysis facility is the ratio of the number of observed index discharges from acute care hospitals to that facility that resulted in an unplanned readmission to an acute care hospital within 4-30 days of discharge to the expected number of readmissions given the discharging hospitals and the characteristics of the patients and based on a national norm. Note that the measure is based on Medicare-covered dialysis patients.
Percent of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients who are prescribed a statin at hospital discharge.
