Therefore, harm and infection information will only be shown if there are at least 25 cases per 12-month reporting period. Similarly, if there are not enough cases for a particular measure, the data can be misleading. Please note some hospitals do not treat patients with these conditions and therefore may not have information displayed in some categories.
If you have questions, please talk to your care provider.
These measures do not fully explain the level of quality care provided in a hospital. In particular, this source and method of calculation for infection rates may result in higher rates when calculated with more exact and sensitive data sources. It is recognized that other data sources and calculations could provide more accurate rates, at the hospital level. However, this data source is not perfect. This source was used to ensure consistent data sources from all providers. The data used for the quality data measures is patient hospital discharge data. Infections, falls and unnecessary hospitalization or unplanned readmission are areas hospitals strive to improve. The measures chosen represent the primary goal of quality care - do no harm. The quality measures were selected based on agreement from Missouri providers and national organizations and experts.
