Standardized Hospitalization Ratio for Dialysis Facilities (SHR)

The standardized hospitalization ratio is defined to be the ratio of the number of hospital admissions that occur for Medicare ESRD dialysis patients treated at a particular facility to the number of hospitalizations that would be expected given the characteristics of the dialysis facility’s patients and the national norm for dialysis facilities. This measure is calculated as a ratio but can also be expressed as a rate.

Standardized Mortality Ratio for Dialysis Facilities

Standardized mortality ratio is defined to be the ratio of the number of deaths that occur for Medicare ESRD dialysis patients treated at a particular facility to the number of deaths that would be expected given the characteristics of the dialysis facility’s patients and the national norm for dialysis facilities. This measure is calculated as a ratio but can also be expressed as a rate.

Standardized Ratio of Emergency Department Encounters Occurring Within 30 Days of Hospital Discharge (ED30) for Dialysis Facilities

The Standardized Ratio of Emergency Department Encounters Occurring Within 30 Days of Hospital Discharge for Dialysis Facilities (ED30) is defined to be the ratio of observed over expected events. The numerator is the observed number of index discharges from acute care hospitals that are followed by an outpatient emergency department encounter within 4-30 days after discharge for eligible adult Medicare dialysis patients treated at a particular dialysis facility.

Standardized Readmission Ratio (SRR) for dialysis facilities

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.

Standardized Transfusion Ratio for Dialysis Facilities

The risk adjusted facility level transfusion ratio “STrR” is specified for all adult dialysis patients. It is a ratio of the number of eligible red blood cell transfusion events observed in patients dialyzing at a facility, to the number of eligible transfusion events that would be expected under a national norm, after accounting for the patient characteristics within each facility. Eligible transfusions are those that do not have any claims pertaining to the comorbidities identified for exclusion, in the one year look back period prior to each observation window.

STS Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR) + Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Composite Score

The STS AVR+CABG Composite Score comprises two domains consisting of six measures: Domain 1) Absence of Operative Mortality – Proportion of patients (risk-adjusted) who do not experience operative mortality. Operative mortality is defined as death during the same hospitalization as surgery or after discharge but within 30 days of the procedure; and Domain 2) Absence of Major Morbidity – Proportion of patients (risk-adjusted) who do not experience any major morbidity. Major morbidity is defined as having at least one of the following adverse outcomes: 1.

STS Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR) Composite Score

STS AVR Composite Score comprises two domains consisting of six measures: Domain 1) Absence of Operative Mortality – Proportion of patients (risk-adjusted) who do not experience operative mortality. Operative mortality is defined as death during the same hospitalization as surgery or after discharge but within 30 days of the procedure; and Domain 2) Absence of Major Morbidity – Proportion of patients (risk-adjusted) who do not experience any major morbidity. Major morbidity is defined as having at least one of the following adverse outcomes: 1. reoperations for any cardiac reason, 2.

STS CABG Composite Score

The STS CABG Composite Score comprises four domains consisting of 11 individually NQF-endorsed cardiac surgery measures:
Domain 1) Absence of Operative Mortality – Proportion of patients (risk-adjusted) who do not experience operative mortality. Operative mortality is defined as death during the same hospitalization as surgery or after discharge but within 30 days of the procedure;

STS Individual Surgeon Composite Measure for Adult Cardiac Surgery

The STS Individual Surgeon Composite Measure for Adult Cardiac Surgery includes five major procedures (isolated CABG, isolated AVR, AVR+CABG, MVRR, MVRR+CABG) and comprises the following two domains:

Domain 1 – Risk-Adjusted Operative Mortality
Operative mortality is defined as death before hospital discharge or within 30 days of the operation.

Domain 2 – Risk-Adjusted Major Morbidity
Major morbidity is defined as the occurrence of any one or more of the following major complications:
1. Prolonged ventilation,
2. Deep sternal wound infection,
