This measure assesses the number of nulliparous women with a term, singleton baby in a vertex position delivered by cesarean birth.
CBE ID0471e
This measure assesses the number of nulliparous women with a term, singleton baby in a vertex position delivered by cesarean birth.
Hospital-level measure scores are calculated as a risk-adjusted proportion of the number of delivery hospitalizations for women who experience a severe obstetric complication, as defined by the numerator, by the total number of delivery hospitalizations in the denominator during the measurement period.
Number of inpatient deaths per 100 discharges with a procedure for esophageal resection
Number of discharges with a procedure for esophageal resection
Percentage of all adult (>= 18 years old) patients in the sample for analysis who have been on hemodialysis for 90 days or more and dialyzing thrice weekly, and have a residual renal function (if measured in the last three months) less than 2 ml/min/1.73m2), whose delivered dose of hemodialysis (calculated from the last measurements of the month using the UKM or Daugirdas II formula) was a spKt/V >= 1.2 during the reporting period.
The measure focuses on resources used to deliver episodes of care for patients who have undergone a Hip/Knee Replacement. Hip Replacement and Knee Replacement episodes are initially defined using the Episode Treatment Groups (ETG) methodology and describe the unique presence of the condition for a patient and the services involved in diagnosing, managing and treating the condition. The Procedure Episode Group (PEG) methodology uses the ETG results and further logic to creating a procedure episode that focuses on the Hip Replacement and Knee Replacement component of the care.
The measure focuses on resources used to deliver episodes of care for patients with pneumonia. Pneumonia episodes are defined using the Episode Treatment Groups (ETG) methodology and describe the unique presence of the condition for a patient and the services involved in diagnosing, managing and treating pneumonia. A number of resource use measures are defined for pneumonia episodes, including overall cost of care, cost of care by type of service, and the utilization of specific types of services.
Percentage of heart failure patients with documentation in the hospital record that left ventricular systolic (LVS) function was evaluated before arrival, during hospitalization, or is planned for after discharge.
This measure assesses days spent in acute care within 30 days of discharge from an inpatient hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) to provide a patient-centered assessment of the post-discharge period. This measure is intended to capture the quality of care transitions provided to discharged patients hospitalized with AMI by collectively measuring a set of adverse acute care outcomes that can occur post-discharge: emergency department (ED) visits, observation stays, and unplanned readmissions at any time during the 30 days post-discharge.
The measure assesses days spent in acute care within 30 days of discharge from an inpatient hospitalization for HF to provide a patient-centered assessment of the post-discharge period. This measure is intended to capture the quality of care transitions provided to discharged patients who had a HF hospitalization by collectively measuring a set of adverse acute care outcomes that can occur post-discharge: emergency department (ED) visits, observation stays, and unplanned readmissions at any time during the 30 days post-discharge.
