Participation in at least one multi-center, standardized data collection and feedback program for pediatric and congenital heart surgery that provides benchmarking of the physician’s data relative to national and regional programs and uses process and outcome measures.
All documented falls, with or without injury, experienced by patients on eligible unit types in a calendar quarter. Reported as Total Falls per 1,000 Patient Days.
(Total number of falls / Patient days) X 1000
Measure focus is safety.
Target population is adult acute care inpatient and adult rehabilitation patients.
