Entity Hospital Acquired Condition Measures

DescriptionThe Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) adopted eight hospital-acquired condition (HAC) measures for the Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting Program (Reporting Program), formerly known as the Reporting Hospital Quality Data for Annual Payment Update (RHQDAPU) program, as part of the 2011 Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) Final Rule. The eight measures are a subset of the ten HAC categories for which CMS implemented payment provisions beginning October 1, 2008.

 HAC 1 Foreign Object Retained After Surgery Rate
DescriptionThe rate of incidence of patients being diagnosed as having some foreign object retained after surgery. This is calculated as the number of such patients expressed as a percentage of the total number of patients discharged from the healthcare facility. The calculated rate can be refined to reflect those patients who had the diagnosis present on admission (POA) or those for whom the diagnosis was not present on admission or the combined total of patients with the diagnosis whether present on admission or not.

Formula: [((A/C) or (B/C) or ((A+B)/C)) *100]

The calculated rate can be refined to reflect those patients who had the diagnosis present on admission (POA) or those for whom the diagnosis was not present on admission or the combined total of patients with the diagnosis whether present on admission or not.

DescriptionThe rate of incidence of patients being diagnosed as having received blood or blood products that were not compatible (typically the wrong blood type or group). This is calculated as the number of such patients expressed as a percentage of the total number of patients discharged from the healthcare facility. The calculated rate can be refined to reflect those patients who had the diagnosis present on admission (POA) or those for whom the diagnosis was not present on admission or the combined total of patients with the diagnosis whether present on admission or not.

The calculated rate can be refined to reflect those patients who had the diagnosis present on admission (POA) or those for whom the diagnosis was not present on admission or the combined total of patients with the diagnosis whether present on admission or not.

The calculated rate can be refined to reflect those patients who had the diagnosis present on admission (POA) or those for whom the diagnosis was not present on admission or the combined total of patients with the diagnosis whether present on admission or not.

DescriptionThe rate of incidence of patients being diagnosed as having poor glycemic control (including diabetic ketoacidosis, nonketotic hyperosmolar coma, hypoglycemic coma, secondary diabetes with ketoacidosis, and secondary diabetes with hyperosmolarity). This is calculated as the number of such patients expressed as a percentage of the total number of patients discharged from the healthcare facility. The calculated rate can be refined to reflect those patients who had the diagnosis present on admission (POA) or those for whom the diagnosis was not present on admission or the combined total of patients with the diagnosis whether present on admission or not.
