| Recommended Care (Process of Care) |
Higher Score is Better |
These measures are national benchmarks based on research supporting this action as the best care for patients with the specific condition (AMI, Pneumonia, heart failure, surgical site infections).
You want this type of care; you want the
score to be high, showing hospitals are
delivering the correct care. |

| Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs) |
Lower Rate is Better |
These measures show how many
patient safety errors occurred in each
hospital that could have potentially been
avoided. You don’t want the rate to be
high; you want it to be low, showing
fewer errors. |

| Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) |
Lower Ratio is Better |
These measures show the number of
infections acquired by patients while in
the hospital. You don’t want the ratio to
be high; you want it to be low, showing
fewer healthcare-associated infections. |
