This metric is designed to measure the critical care transport team's utilization of waveform capnography during critical care medical transport. Waveform capnography has evolved as the standard for the safe placement and maintenance of advanced airways (e.g., endotracheal tubes) in adult and pediatric patients. The metric specifically focuses on transported patients with advanced airways in whom continuous waveform capnography is appropriately used. This metric is stratified by age into the following three categories: neonatal (defined as infants <29 days), pediatric (
Percentage of patients 3-17 years of age who had an outpatient visit with a primary care physician (PCP) or an OB/GYN and who had evidence of the following during the measurement year:

A Wrong-Patient Retract-and-Reorder (Wrong Patient-RAR) event occurs when an order is placed on a patient within an EHR, is retracted within 10 minutes, and then the same clinician places the same order on a different patient within the next 10 minutes. A Wrong-Patient Retract-and-Reorder rate is calculated by dividing Wrong Patient-RAR events by total orders examined.
