Primary Measure - Most and Moderately Effective Contraceptive Provision or Use: Percentage of patients ages 15-44 and assigned female at birth who received a most or moderately effective contraceptive, or were documented to use a most or moderately effective contraceptive method in the measurement period. The primary measure captures new provision as well as current use of most and moderately effective contraceptive methods to accurately capture contraceptive utilization even if provided in a different calendar year or a different health care site.

Primary Measure - Most and Moderately Effective Contraceptive Provision or Use: Percentage of patients ages 15-44 assigned female at birth with a live birth delivery who received a most or moderately effective contraceptive, or were documented to use a most or moderately effective contraceptive method, in the postpartum period. The primary measure captures new provision as well as current use of most and moderately effective contraceptive methods to accurately capture postpartum contraceptive utilization even if provided in a different calendar year or a different health care site.

Percentage of patients assigned female at birth and ages 15-44 who were asked if they wanted to talk about contraception or pregnancy prevention and had their response recorded during the measurement period (which is a calendar year), among patients with a qualifying encounter; to focus on the population of non-postpartum women, the measure excludes those individuals who had a live birth making them eligible for postpartum contraceptive services, and also excludes those who are anatomically infecund or  have had female sterilization from the denominator.

This measure identifies moderate and severe complications among term infants who enter labor without preexisting fetal conditions (morbidity outcome measure).  The scope of the measure includes both maternal and neonatal care and is appropriate for all levels of hospital care and is collected for a full year time period.  The measure is designed to highlight processes of both obstetric and neonatal care that can be improved while recognizing that not all complications can be avoided.  As an infant outcome measure it can also serve as a balancing measure for interventions targ

This metric is designed to measure the critical care transport team's utilization of waveform capnography during critical care medical transport.  Waveform capnography has evolved as the standard for the safe placement and maintenance of advanced airways (e.g., endotracheal tubes) in adult and pediatric patients.  The metric specifically focuses on transported patients with advanced airways in whom continuous waveform capnography is appropriately used.  This metric is stratified by age into the following three categories: neonatal (defined as infants <29 days), pediatric (
