This measure assesses the percentage of patients 40 years of age and older with a new diagnosis of COPD or newly active COPD, who received appropriate spirometry testing to confirm the diagnosis.
This measure assesses the number of patients diagnosed with confirmed VTE who received an overlap of Parenteral (intravenous [IV] or subcutaneous [subcu]) anticoagulation and warfarin therapy. For patients who received less than five days of overlap therapy, they should be discharged on both medications or have a Reason for Discontinuation of Parenteral Therapy.
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.
