This measure estimates a hospital -level risk standardized survival rate (RSSR) for patients aged 18 years and older who experience an in-hospital cardiac arrest.
The percentage of children who received visual acuity screening at least once by their 6th birthday; and if necessary, were referred appropriately.
Percent of patients aged 18 years and older undergoing cardiac surgery who had an order for or received preoperative prophylactic antibiotics recommended for the operation.
Standardized average length of hospital stay (ALOS) for routine inpatient care (i.e., care provided outside of intensive care units).
Percentage of women who 1) received or had documented use of most or moderately effective contraception and 2) received a long-acting reversible contraceptive method during the calendar year.
To focus the measure on the population of women interested in contraceptive services, the denominator excludes those individuals who did not receive or have documented use of a method if they indicated during the year that they did not want these services, as well as those who are eligible for postpartum contraceptive services during the measurement period.
Percentage of women 1) who received or had documented use of most or moderately effective contraception during the postpartum period (primary measure) and 2) received a long-acting reversible contraceptive method during the postpartum period (sub-measure). To focus the measure on the population of women interested in contraceptive services, the denominator excludes those individuals who did not receive or have documented use of a method if they indicated they did not want these services.
NSC-12.1 - Percentage of total productive nursing hours worked by RN (employee and contract) with direct patient care responsibilities by hospital unit.
NSC-12.2 - Percentage of total productive nursing hours worked by LPN/LVN (employee and contract) with direct patient care responsibilities by hospital unit.
NSC-12.3 - Percentage of total productive nursing hours worked by UAP (employee and contract) with direct patient care responsibilities by hospital unit.
The SNFRM estimates the risk-standardized rate of all-cause, unplanned hospital readmissions for Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) beneficiaries within 30 days of discharge from a prior proximal acute hospitalization. The prior proximal hospitalization is defined as an admission to an IPPS, CAH, psychiatric, or cancer hospital. The measure is risk-adjusted for patient demographics, principal diagnosis from the prior hospitalization, comorbidities, and other health status variables that affect the probability of a hospital readmission.
SNF HAI is a one-year outcome measure that estimates the risk-standardized rate of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) that are acquired during SNF care and result in hospitalization.
Ratio of observed to expected major adverse events (MAE) among patients undergoing congenital cardiac catheterization, risk-adjusted using the Catheterization for Congenital Heart Disease Adjustment for Risk Method II (CHARM II).
