Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR)
National Hospital Inpatient Quality Measures:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Acute Myocardial Infarctions (AMI)
Heart Failure (HF)
Pneumonia (PN)
Surgical Care Infection Prevention (SCIP)
Emergency Department (ED)
Stroke (STK)
Venous Thromboembolism (VTE)
Hospital Outpatient Quality Reporting (OQR)
National Hospital Outpatient Quality Measures:
• Outpatient Surgery
• Outpatient Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) and
Chest Pain
• Imaging Efficiency
Overlap/Alignment/Similarities = COLLABORATION
Purpose of Reporting
• Cost of care is among the most serious
concerns within healthcare and public policy
• Increased attention on the quality of care
• Assessing the quality of care provided can
help to identify opportunities for
improvement
Current Participants
•
41 CAHs actively report Inpatient Data on a
regular basis
•
7 CAHs actively report Outpatient Data on a
regular basis.
•
•
3 more CAHs have signed up to start reporting OQR
42 CAHs are signed up to publicly report data
to Hospital Compare.
Please note the difference in numbers is due to what we define as
“actively” participating, which means you have submitted all eligible data
for the last two most recent quarters
Benefits of Reporting IQR & OQR
• Engages your facility in quality improvement
initiatives
• Shows your community you are committed to
transparency and quality improvement
• Improves patient care and hospital services
• Allows for clear benchmarking and the
identification of best practices
• Prepares CAHs for when CAHs will likely have to
report measures for value-based purchasing (VBP)
