Admissions for a principal diagnosis of asthma per 100,000 population, ages 18 to 39 years. Excludes admissions with an indication of cystic fibrosis or anomalies of the respiratory system, obstetric admissions, and transfers from other institutions.
The percentage of patients 5–64 years of age who were identified as having persistent asthma and had a ratio of controller medications to total asthma medications of 0.50 or greater during the measurement year.
Percentage of patients aged 18 years and older with a diagnosis of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter whose assessment of the specified thromboembolic risk factors indicate one or more high-risk factors or more than one moderate risk factor, as determined by CHADS2 risk stratification, who are prescribed warfarin OR another oral anticoagulant drug that is FDA approved for the prevention of thromboembolism
The percentage of episodes for members ages 3 months and older with a diagnosis of acute bronchitis/bronchiolitis that did not result in an antibiotic dispensing event.
Percentage of adult in-center hemodialysis patients in the facility whose average ultrafiltration rate (UFR) is >=13 ml/kg/hour AND who receive an average of <240 minutes per treatment during the calculation period.
Percent of patients aged 18 years and older undergoing isolated CABG who were discharged on beta blockers
Bilateral cardiac catheterization discharges per 1,000 heart catheterizations discharges for coronary artery disease for patients ages 18 years and older. Excludes valid indications for right- side catheterization discharges and obstetric discharges.
[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 specific procedure discharges per 1,000 hospital discharges.]
Percentage of women 50-74 years of age who had a mammogram to screen for breast cancer
This measure calculates the percentage of stress echocardiography, single photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (SPECT MPI), stress magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or computed coronary tomography angiography (CCTA) performed at each facility in the 30 days prior to an ambulatory non-cardiac, low-risk surgery performed at any location. The measure is calculated based on a one-year window of Medicare claims data.
Percentage of patients evaluated in an outpatient setting who in the previous 12 months have experienced an acute myocardial infarction or chronic stable angina or who have undergone coronary artery bypass (CABG) surgery, a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), cardiac valve surgery (CVS), or cardiac transplantation, who have not already participated in an early outpatient cardiac rehabilitation/secondary prevention program for the qualifying event, and who are referred to an outpatient cardiac rehabilitation/secondary prevention program.
