Outcome-Focused

Standardized Infection Ratio (SIR) and Adjusted Ranking Metric (ARM) of healthcare-associated, central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) will be calculated among patients in bedded inpatient care locations.
This includes acute care general hospitals, long-term acute care hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, oncology hospitals, and behavioral health hospitals.

Standardized infection ratio (SIR) and Adjusted Ranking Metric (ARM)of hospital-onset unique blood source MRSA Laboratory-identified events (LabID events) among all inpatients in the facility

Discharges with healthcare-associated bloodstream infection per 1,000 discharges for newborns and outborns with birth weight of 500 grams or more but less than 1,500 grams; with gestational age between 24 and 30 weeks; or with birth weight of 1,500 grams or more and death, an operating room procedure, mechanical ventilation, or transferring from another hospital within two days of birth. Excludes discharges with a length of stay less than 3 days and discharges with a principal diagnosis of sepsis, or bacteremia, or newborn bacteremia.

Percent of patients undergoing index pediatric and/or congenital heart surgery who die, including both 1) all deaths occurring during the hospitalization in which the procedure was performed, even if after 30 days (including patients transferred to other acute care facilities), and 2) those deaths occurring after discharge from the hospital, but within 30 days of the procedure, stratified by the five STAT Mortality Categories, a multi-institutional validated risk stratification tool

The percentage of patients 18-75 years of age who had a diagnosis of type 1 or type 2 diabetes and whose diabetes was optimally managed during the measurement period as defined by achieving ALL of the following:
• HbA1c less than 8.0 mg/dL
• Blood Pressure less than 140/90 mmHg
• On a statin medication, unless allowed contraindications or exceptions are present
• Non-tobacco user
• Patient with ischemic vascular disease is on daily aspirin or anti-platelets, unless allowed contraindications or exceptions are present

The quarterly incidence rate of falls amongst PACE participants per 1,000 participant days.

The quarterly incidence rate of falls with injury amongst PACE participants per 1,000 participant days.

Prevalence of PACE-acquired pressure ulcers/injuries (Stages 3, 4, unstageable, and deep tissue injury) among PACE participants in a quarter, expressed as persons with 1 or more pressure ulcers/injuries divided by the number of participants on the PACE organization’s census who resided in a home setting (home or assisted living facility)for at least one day during the quarter.

In-hospital deaths per 1,000 discharges with pancreatic resection, ages 18 years and older. Includes metrics for discharges grouped by type of diagnosis and procedure. Excludes acute pancreatitis discharges, 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.]

The number of hospital discharges with a procedure of partial or total pancreatic resection for patients 18 years and older or obstetric patients. Excludes acute pancreatitis admissions.
