Percentage of patients undergoing hysterectomy for the indication of pelvic organ prolapse in which a concomitant vaginal apical suspension (i.e. uterosacral, iliococygeus, sacrospinous or sacral colpopexy, or enterocele repair) is performed.
Perioperative hemorrhage or hematoma cases involving a procedure to treat the hemorrhage or hematoma, following surgery per 1,000 surgical discharges for patients ages 18 years and older. Excludes cases with a diagnosis of coagulation disorder; cases with a principal diagnosis of perioperative hemorrhage or hematoma; cases with a secondary diagnosis of perioperative hemorrhage or hematoma present on admission; cases where the only operating room procedure is for treatment of perioperative hemorrhage or hematoma; obstetric cases.
The number of days between PICU admission and PICU discharge.
The ratio of actual deaths over predicted deaths for PICU patients.
In-hospital deaths per 1,000 hospital discharges with pneumonia as a principal diagnosis for patients ages 18 years and older. Excludes obstetric discharges and transfers to another hospital.
[NOTE: The software provides the rate per hospital discharge. However, common practice reports the measure as per 1,000 discharges. The user must multiply the rate obtained from the software by 1,000 to report in-hospital deaths per 1,000 hospital discharges.]
PointRight OnPoint-30 is an all-cause, risk adjusted rehospitalization measure. It provides the rate at which all patients (regardless of payer status or diagnosis) who enter skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) from acute hospitals and are subsequently rehospitalized during their SNF stay, within 30 days from their admission to the SNF.
The PointRight Pro Long Stay Hospitalization Measure is an MDS-based, risk-adjusted measure of the rate of hospitalization of long-stay patients (also known as “residents”) of skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) averaged across the year, weighted by the number of stays in each quarter.
The percentage of individuals 18 years and older who met the Proportion of Days Covered (PDC) threshold of 80 percent during the measurement year.
Report a rate for each of the following:
• Diabetes All Class (PDC-DR)
• Renin Angiotensin System Antagonists (PDC-RASA)
• Statins (PDC-STA)
A higher rate indicates better performance.
Percent of adult population aged 18 + years who are admitted to a hospital with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), are followed for one-month after discharge, and have one or more potentially avoidable complications (PACs). PACs may occur during the index stay or during the 30-day post discharge period. Please reference attached document labeled NQF_AMI_all_codes_risk_adjustment_06.30.15.xls, in the tabs labeled PACs I-9 and PAC I-10 for a list of code definitions of PACs relevant to AMI.
We define PACs during each time period as one of two types:
Percent of adult population aged 18 – 65 years who were admitted to a hospital with stroke, were followed for one-month after discharge, and had one or more potentially avoidable complications (PACs). PACs may occur during the index stay or during the 30-day post discharge period (Please reference attached document labeled NQF_Stroke_PACs_Risk_Adjustment_2.16.10.xls, tabs labeled CIP_Index PAC_Stays and CIP_PAC_Readmission). We define PACs during each time period as one of three types:
(A) PACs during the Index Stay (Hospitalization):
