Percent of adult patients aged 18 years and older with an Internal Jugular central venous catheter placed in the emergency department (ED) under ultrasound guidance.
This is a hospital level performance score reported as the percent of infants with Unexpected Newborn Complications among full term newborns with no preexisting conditions, typically calculated per year.
Percentage of Surgical patients greater than 18 years of age with urinary catheter removed on Postoperative Day 1 or Postoperative Day 2 with day of surgery being day zero.
Percentage of children and adolescents 1-17 years of age who had a new prescription for an antipsychotic medication, but no U.S. Food and Drug Administration primary indication for antipsychotics, and had documentation of psychosocial care as first-line treatment.
The percentage of patients 65 years of age and older who received at least two dispensing events for the same high-risk medication. A lower rate represents better performance.
The percentage of patients with a primary diagnosis of low back pain who did not have an imaging study (plain X-ray, MRI, CT scan) within 28 days of diagnosis.

This measure assesses the number of patients diagnosed with confirmed venous thromboembolism (VTE) who received intravenous (IV) unfractionated heparin (UFH) therapy dosages AND had their platelet counts monitored using defined parameters such as a nomogram or protocol. This measure is part of a set of six prevention and treatment measures that address VTE (VTE-1: VTE Prophylaxis, VTE-2: ICU VTE Prophylaxis, VTE-3: VTE Patients with Anticoagulation Overlap Therapy, VTE-5: VTE Warfarin Therapy Discharge Instructions and VTE-6: Incidence of Potentially-Preventable VTE).
A Wrong-Patient Retract-and-Reorder (Wrong Patient-RAR) event occurs when an order is placed on a patient within an EHR, is retracted within 10 minutes, and then the same clinician places the same order on a different patient within the next 10 minutes. A Wrong-Patient Retract-and-Reorder rate is calculated by dividing Wrong Patient-RAR events by total orders examined.
