Category: Quality Measures
Arteriovenous Fistulae Thrombectomy Clinical Success Rate
Percentage of clinically successful arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) thrombectomies for patients on maintenance hemodialysis.
High Intensity Statin Prescribed for Acute and Subacute Ischemic Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)
Acute and subacute ischemic stroke and confirmed Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) patients prescribed or continuing to take a high intensity statin at time of hospital discharge
Discontinuation of Proton Pump Inhibitors for patients who do not meet criteria for long-term utilization.
The percentage of patients on a Proton Pump Inhibitor with an appropriately documented indication or an order for discontinuation for not meeting criteria for long-term utilization.
Consultation to Palliative Care for Patients with End Stage Conditions
The measure will identify patients with end stage diagnoses who meet any of the listed criteria for a palliative care consult
Avoidance of Head CT Scans in Recurrent Seizure Episodes Without New Head Injury.
This quality measure aims to minimize the use of head computed tomography (CT) scans in both the Emergency Department (ED) and Hospital Medicine (HM) settings for patients presenting with seizures when they have a known history of seizure disorder and there is no new clinical evidence of head injury.
Timely and Effective Management of Pediatric Asthma Exacerbations in the Emergency Department
This measure evaluates the timely administration of both Short-Acting Beta Agonists (SABAs) and corticosteroids within 60 minutes of ED presentation in pediatric patients aged 2 to 18 years experiencing moderate to severe asthma exacerbations. It specifically assesses the prompt delivery of SABAs in conjunction with oral, intramuscular (IM), or intravenous (IV) corticosteroids to ensure effective management of asthma symptoms.
Optimization of Short-term Dual Antiplatelet Therapy for High-risk Cerebrovascular Events
This measure assesses the proportion of adult patients who are prescribed short-term dual antiplatelet therapy upon discharge following a diagnosis of high-risk transient ischemic attack (TIA), minor non-embolic ischemic stroke, or intracranial large artery atherosclerosis. It encourages the use of evidence-based protocols to reduce the risk of recurrent stroke.
Tunneled Hemodialysis Catheter Clinical Success Rate
Percentage of tunneled central venous access catheter insertions or replacements that resulted in successful dialysis treatment in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
Percutaneous Arteriovenous Fistula for Dialysis – Clinical Success Rate
Percentage of clinically successful percutaneously created arteriovenous fistulae (pAVF) for patients on maintenance hemodialysis.
