Hospital Compare Quality of Care and Measures

This data package contains the Hospital Outcome of Care Surgical Measures contains a list of different hospitals and their quality of surgical outcomes to provide information to healthcare consumers. The American College of Surgeons (ACS) National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) is the leading nationally validated, risk-adjusted, outcomes-based program to measure and improve the quality of surgical care in the private sector. Hospital Structure Measures evaluate the infrastructure of health care settings, such as hospitals or doctor offices, and whether those health care settings are able to deliver care. These measures include staffing of facilities and the capabilities of these staff, the policy environment in which care is delivered, and the availability of resources within an institution. Inpatient Psychiatric Hospital Facility Quality Measures by Facility, State and National contains six measures. Psychiatric facilities that are eligible for this program may have their Medicare payments reduced if they do not report.

The Inpatient Psychiatric Facility Quality Reporting (IPFQR) program is a pay-for-reporting program intended to equip consumers with quality of care information to make more informed decisions about healthcare options. It is also intended to encourage hospitals and clinicians to improve the quality of inpatient care provided to beneficiaries by, first, ensuring that providers are aware of and reporting on best practices for their respective facilities and type of care. Payment and Value of Care by Hospital displays associated with a 30-day episode of care for heart attack, heart failure, and pneumonia patients. Payment by State and National level measures contain payments made for care and supplies starting the day the patient enters the hospital and for the next 30 days.

The measures are meant to reflect differences in the services and supplies provided to patients. Timely and Effective Care by Hospital, State and National level data for measures of heart attack care, heart failure care, pneumonia care, surgical care, emergency department care, preventive care, children’s asthma care, stroke care, blood clot prevention and treatment, and pregnancy and delivery care. The payments made for patients treated at a particular hospital is less than, no different than, or greater than the national average payment. For some hospitals, the number of cases is too small to reliably compare their results to the national average payment.

1. Hospital Outcome of Care Surgical Measures

This dataset includes a list of different hospitals and their quality of surgical outcomes to provide information to healthcare consumers. The study comprises of Hospital Name and the data on the outcome measures for three different forms of surgeries. These "Outcome of Care Surgical Measures" show whether hospitals differ in what happens to patients after they have one of three types of surgeries - elderly surgery, colon surgery and lower-extremity bypass.

2. Hospital Structural Measures

This dataset includes a list of hospitals and the availability of structural measures at that hospital. A structural measure reflects the environment in which hospitals care for patients. For example, whether or not a hospital participates in a Cardiac Surgery Registry.
