Outcome of Care Measures: Mortality Inpatient Quality Indicator (IQI)
Lower Rate is Better
Hospital Rate National Average Rate (2013) Statewide Average Rate (2015)
Heart Attack 4.8 5.4 5.8
Pneumonia 1.7 * 3 3
Heart Failure 1.9 3.4 2.5
Stroke 2.0 * 7.9 7

* Statistically significantly below statewide average (better than average)


Patient Safety Indicators
Lower Rate is Better
Hospital Rate National average rate (2013) Statewide number of adverse events (2015) Statewide average rate (2015)
Retained Surgical Item or Unretrieved Device Fragment 0 852 23 -
Iatrogenic pneumo thorax 0.2 0.3 160 0.2
Post-operative hip fracture 0 0.1 3 0
Post-operative hemorrhage or hematoma 4.2 4.5 791 4.4
Post-operative pulmonary embolism (PE) or deep vein thrombosis (DVT) 2 * 3.7 1090 5.5
Post-operative sepsis 10.5 4.3 117 8.1
Post-operative wound dehiscence 3 1.7 37 1.2
Accidental puncture or laceration 0.9 0.7 611 1
Transfusion reaction 0 38 0 -
Birth Trauma+ 1 2 192 2
Obstetric trauma - vaginal delivery with instrument+ 0^ 127.9 328 96
Obstetric trauma - vaginal delivery without instrument+ 6.2 20 747 13.3

+ Observed rate (not risk-adjusted)

Not applicable - Rate is not applicable for "Retained Surgical Item or Unretrieved Device Fragment Count" and "Transfusion Reaction". Both indicators are measured using volume instead of rate.

* Better than State Average (i.e. occurrence rate of adverse events is less than statewide rate).

^ Rate is based on less than 30 cases/patients and should be taken with caution.

National Comparison
Abdominal Hysterectomy Surgical Site Infections, 2014 --- --- Similar
Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI), 2014 Higher 2.046 Higher
Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSI), 2014 Similar 0.8 Lower
Colon Surgical Site Infections, 2014 Lower 0 Lower
Knee Arthroplasty Surgical Site Infections, 2014 Similar 0 Lower

‡ Each hospital is compared to the National Ratio=1. The National Ratio is derived using the CDCs NHSN data from 2009 for CAUTI due to a definition change (AJIC, 2010).
