This measure describes the change in functional communication status subsequent to speech-language pathology treatment of patients who exhibit difficuty in swallowing.

A self-report outcome measure of functional status for patients 14 years+ with elbow, wrist, hand impairments. The change in functional status assessed using FOTO (elbow, wrist and hand) PROM is adjusted to patient characteristics known to be associated with functional status outcomes (risk adjusted) and used as a performance measure at the patient level, at the individual clinician, and at the clinic level to assess quality.

A self-report outcome measure of functional status for patients 14 years+ with general orthopaedic impairments. The change in functional status assessed using FOTO (general orthopedic) PROM is adjusted to patient characteristics known to be associated with functional status outcomes (risk adjusted) and used as a performance measure at the patient level, at the individual clinician, and at the clinic level by to assess quality.

A self-report measure of change in functional status for patients 14 years+ with hip impairments. The change in functional status assessed using FOTO’s (hip) PROM is adjusted to patient characteristics known to be associated with functional status outcomes (risk adjusted) and used as a performance measure at the patient level, at the individual clinician, and at the clinic level to assess quality.

A self-report measure of change in functional status for patients 14 year+ with knee impairments. The change in functional status assessed using FOTO’s (knee ) PROM is adjusted to patient characteristics known to be associated with functional status outcomes (risk adjusted) and used as a performance measure at the patient level, at the individual clinician, and at the clinic level to assess quality.

A self-report outcome measure of change in functional status for patients 14 years+ with shoulder impairments. The change in functional status assess using FOTO’s (shoulder) PROM is adjusted to patient characteristics known to be associated with functional status outcomes (risk adjusted) and used as a performance measure at the patient level, at the individual clinician, and at the clinic level to assess quality.

Percentage of patients, regardless of age, with a diagnosis of HIV who did not have a medical visit in the last 6 months of the measurement year

GAPPS is a measure of the number of preventable adverse events per 1,000 patient-days among pediatric inpatients. It is designed to compare rates across institutions and over time. The GAPPS measure utilizes the GAPPS trigger tool to identify adverse events.

In-hospital deaths per 1,000 hospital discharges with gastrointestinal hemorrhage as a principal diagnosis for patients age 18 years and older. Excludes 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.]
