Outcome of Care Measures: Inpatient Quality Indicator (IQI)
Lower Rate is Better
Hospital Rate National Average Rate (2019) Statewide Average Rate (2022)
Heart Attack 6.4 4.9 5.3
Pneumonia 6.7 4.3 4.6
Heart Failure 4.3 2.5 2.8
Stroke 6.3 6.7 6.8


Outcome of Care Measures: Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Surgery Mortality
Lower Rate is Better
Hospital Rate State Rate
Number of Cases 204 7627
Mortality Rate* 3.68 2.18
95% Confidence Interval (1.19, 8.59)


* Operative Mortality includes: (1) all deaths occurring during the hospitalization in which the operation was performed, even after 30 days; and (2) those deaths occurring after discharge from the hospital, but within 30 days of the procedures.

Post-operative pulmonary embolism (PE) or deep vein thrombosis (DVT) 1.3 3.2 238 3
Post-operative sepsis 1.7 3.9 94 2.9
Post-operative wound dehiscence 1.3 1.6 30 1
Abdominopelvic Accidental Puncture or Laceration 1.1 1 64 1
Birth Trauma+ 0.5 4.6 249 2.6
Obstetric trauma - vaginal delivery with instrument+ 80 117.2 394 106.7
Obstetric trauma - vaginal delivery without instrument+ 15.1 17.5 947 16.1

+ Observed rate (not risk-adjusted)

Not applicable - Rate is not applicable for "Retained Surgical Item or Unretrieved Device Fragment Count" and "Transfusion Reaction". Both indicators are measured using volume instead of rate.

Each hospital is compared to the National Ratio=1.

--- Standardized Infection Ratio (SIR) is not calculated because the Expected is < 1

Higher - áindicates hospital infections are HIGHER than infections seen nationally.

Lower - indicates hospital infections are LOWER than infections seen nationally.

Similar - áindicates hospital infections are SIMILAR to infections seen nationally.
