Process of Care

These indicators are used to measure how often hospitals use recommended treatments known to get the best results for certain conditions. This data comes from medicare.gov/hospitalcompare

Patients who developed a blood clot while in the hospital who did not get treatment that could have prevented it

This measure is used to assess the percent of patients diagnosed with confirmed venous thromboembolism (VTE) during hospitalization (not present at admission) who did not receive VTE prophylaxis between hospital admission and the day before the VTE diagnosis testing order date.

Readmission Rates

"Readmission" is when patients who had a recent stay in the hospital go back into hospital again. Rates of readmission can give information about whether a hospital is doing its best to prevent complications, educate patients at discharge, and ensure patients make a smooth transition to their home or another setting such as a nursing home. This data comes from medicare.gov/hospitalcompare.

Inpatient Mortality

Better processes of care may reduce short-term mortality, which represents better quality. IDPH uses discharge data provided by hospitals and inpatient quality indicators provided by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Read about risk adjustment and the Report Card methodology.
