This measure is a ratio of observed to expected rate of in-hospital mortality following non-cardiac surgery among infants <= 30 days of age, risk-adjusted.
The Standardized Ratio of Emergency Department Encounters Occurring Within 30 Days of Hospital Discharge for Dialysis Facilities (ED30) is defined to be the ratio of observed over expected events. The numerator is the observed number of index discharges from acute care hospitals that are followed by an outpatient emergency department encounter within 4-30 days after discharge for eligible adult Medicare dialysis patients treated at a particular dialysis facility.
The Standardized Readmission Ratio (SRR) for a dialysis facility is the ratio of the number of observed index discharges from acute care hospitals to that facility that resulted in an unplanned readmission to an acute care hospital within 4-30 days of discharge to the expected number of readmissions given the discharging hospitals and the characteristics of the patients and based on a national norm. Note that the measure is based on Medicare-covered dialysis patients.
The risk adjusted facility level transfusion ratio “STrR” is specified for all adult dialysis patients. It is a ratio of the number of eligible red blood cell transfusion events observed in patients dialyzing at a facility, to the number of eligible transfusion events that would be expected under a national norm, after accounting for the patient characteristics within each facility. Eligible transfusions are those that do not have any claims pertaining to the comorbidities identified for exclusion, in the one year look back period prior to each observation window.
Percent of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients who are prescribed a statin at hospital discharge.
Percentage of patients aged 18 years and older undergoing infrainguinal lower extremity bypass who are prescribed a statin medication at discharge. This measure is proposed for both hospitals and individual providers.
This measure captures the proportion of ischemic stroke patients prescribed antithrombotic therapy at hospital discharge.
This measure captures the proportion of ischemic stroke patients prescribed antithrombotic therapy at hospital discharge.
This measure captures the proportion of acute ischemic stroke patients who arrive at this hospital within 2 hours of time last known well for whom IV t-PA was initiated at this hospital within 3 hours of time last known well.
This measure captures the proportion of ischemic stroke patients who had antithrombotic therapy administered by end of hospital day two (with the day of arrival being day 1).
