Participation in a clinical database with broad state, regional, or national representation, that provides regular performance reports based on benchmarked data
Participation in a multi-center, standardized data collection and feedback program that will establish national dose index benchmarks for designated examinations. The registry will eventually provide a comparison of practice or facility dose indices such as CTDIvol and DLP for specified examinations relative to national and regional benchmarks. Data is captured electronically from the images of CT examinations using Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standards and the Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) Radiation Exposure Monitoring (REM) profile.
Percentage of ASC admissions experiencing a burn prior to discharge
Percentage of a physician´s end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients aged 18 years and older with medical record documentation of a discussion of renal replacement therapy modalities (including hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, home hemodialysis, transplants and identification of potential living donors, and no/cessation of renal replacement therapy) at least once during the 12-month reporting period.
The Patient Experience of Psychiatric Care as Measure by the Inpatient Consumer Survey (ICS) was developed to gather patient´s evaluation of their inpatient psychiatric care. The survey is composed of the following six individual measures or domains:
Percentage of ASC admissions experiencing a fall in the ASC.
All documented falls, with or without injury, experienced by patients on eligible unit types in a calendar quarter. Reported as Total Falls per 1,000 Patient Days.
(Total number of falls / Patient days) X 1000
Measure focus is safety.
Target population is adult acute care inpatient and adult rehabilitation patients.
Percentage of patients transferred to another HEALTHCARE FACILITY whose medical record documentation indicated that patient information was communicated to the receiving FACILITY within 60 minutes of departure
The PSI 90 composite measure summarizes patient safety across multiple indicators for the CMS Medicare fee-for-service population.
This measure assesses how well facilities provide clear, personalized discharge instructions to patients aged 18 years or older who had a surgery or procedure at an outpatient facility. It uses a 9-item survey to obtain patient’s feedback on 3 domains: applicability; medications; and daily activities. Facility scores are calculated by averaging the individual patient scores for each facility.
