Avoidance of Post-operative Systemic Antibiotics for Office-based Closures and Reconstruction After Skin Cancer Procedures
Percentage of procedures in patients aged 18 and older with a diagnosis of skin cancer who underwent intermediate layer or complex linear closure or reconstruction after skin cancer resection in the office-based* setting who were prescribed post-operative systemic antibiotics to be taken immediately following reconstruction surgery (inverse measure).

First Year Standardized Kidney Transplant Waitlist Ratio (FYSWR)
The number of newly initiated patients on dialysis in a practitioner group who are under the age of 75 and were either listed on the kidney or kidney-pancreas transplant waitlist or received a living donor transplant within the first year of initiating dialysis. The practitioner group is inclusive of physicians and advanced practice providers. The measure is the ratio-observed number of waitlist events in a practitioner group to its expected number of waitlist events. The measure uses the expected waitlist events calculated from a Cox model, which is adjusted for age, patient comorbidities, and other risk factors at the time of dialysis.
Percentage of Prevalent Patients Waitlisted for Kidney Transplant (PPPW) and Percentage of Prevalent Patients Waitlisted for Kidney Transplant in Active Status (aPPPW)
The measure tracks dialysis patients who are under the age of 75 in a practitioner group and on the kidney or kidney-pancreas transplant waitlist (all patients or patients in active status). This measure is a risk-adjusted percentage of waitlist events among dialysis patients.
Prevalent Standardized Kidney Transplant Waitlist Ratio (PSWR)
The number of prevalent dialysis patients in a practitioner group who are under the age of 75 and were listed on the kidney or kidney-pancreas transplant waitlist or received a living donor transplant. The practitioner group is inclusive of physicians and advanced practice providers. The measure is the ratio-observed number of waitlist events in a practitioner group to its expected number of waitlist events. The measure uses the expected waitlist events calculated from a Cox model, which is adjusted for age, patient comorbidities, and other risk factors at the time of dialysis.
Patient Reported Falls and Plan of Care
Percentage of patients (or caregivers as appropriate) with an active diagnosis of a movement disorder, multiple sclerosis, a neuromuscular disorder, dementia, or stroke who reported a fall occurred and those that fell had a plan of care for falls documented at every visit.
