The CTM-3 is a hospital level measure of performance that reports the average patient reported quality of preparation for self-care response among adult patients discharged from general acute care hospitals within the past 30 days.
This measure estimates hospital risk-standardized 30-day all-cause mortality rate following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) among patients who are 18 years of age or older with STEMI or cardiogenic shock at the time of procedure. The measure uses clinical data available in the National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) CathPCI Registry for risk adjustment. For the purpose of development and testing, the measure cohort was derived in a Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) population of patients 65 years of age or older with a PCI.
This measure estimates hospital risk-standardized 30-day all-cause mortality rate following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) among patients who are 18 years of age or older without STEMI and without cardiogenic shock at the time of procedure. The measure uses clinical data available in the National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) CathPCI Registry for risk adjustment. For the purpose of development and testing, the measure used a Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) population of patients 65 years of age or older with a PCI.
Number of rehospitalizations occurring within 30 days of discharge from an acute care hospital (prospective payment system (PPS) or critical access hospital (CAH)) per 1000 FFS Medicare beneficiaries at the state and community level by quarter and year.
In-hospital deaths per 1,000 discharges with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair, ages 18 years and older. Includes metrics for discharges grouped by type of diagnosis and procedure. 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.]
The number of hospital discharges with a procedure for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair for patients 18 years and older or obstetric patients. Includes optional metrics for the number of discharges grouped by rupture status and procedure type.
Percentage of heart failure (HF) patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) who are prescribed an ACEI or ARB at hospital discharge. For purposes of this measure, LVSD is defined as chart documentation of a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 40% or a narrative description of left ventricular systolic (LVS) function consistent with moderate or severe systolic dysfunction.
Percentage of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) who are prescribed an ACEI or ARB at hospital discharge. For purposes of this measure, LVSD is defined as chart documentation of a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 40% or a narrative description of left ventricular systolic (LVS) function consistent with moderate or severe systolic dysfunction.
Percentage of home health stays in which patients were admitted to an acute care hospital during the 60 days following the start of the home health stay.
Percentage of patients aged 2 years and older with a diagnosis of AOE who were not prescribed systemic antimicrobials.
