12 Methodology and Data Source Information The dashboard provides information regarding your state s all-cause, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart failure (HF), coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), pneumonia (PNE), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and total hip/knee replacement (THA/TKA) 30-day readmissions. Rates are calculated using hospital inpatient claims for Medicare Fee-For-Service (FFS) beneficiaries. Planned readmissions are excluded from this analysis. Data in this report are limited to Medicare FFS Part-A data for discharges from April 1, 2016, to March 31, International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 codes are used to calculate rates starting from October Readmission rates in this report are not calculated using the 30-day risk standardized methodology for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Readmission Reduction Program or found on hospitalcompare.hhs.gov. Readmission rates are updated quarterly with the most current time period s data. As more mature data become available, historic data may change slightly to reflect the updated data. The time periods illustrated in this document are examples only and may not reflect the most current data period. Pages 1 through 3 contain the following information. 1 Summary table 3 Regional map 2 Emergency department (ED) visits and observation stays tables 4 Outpatient ED visits, observation stays, and inpatient admissions graphs 1 Example Dashboard (Pages 1 through 3) 2 18 The Complete Standard Analytical Table (CSAT) data file was used for this analysis. The CSAT data file is provided to HSAG by CMS. The CSAT data file includes Part A and Part B claims for FFS beneficiaries. Please note that the results obtained from CSAT may vary from your own state s results. Page A

14 1 Summary Table The summary table contains your state s Baseline and Current 30-day readmission rates, including the numerator and denominator for each quarter. All rates are calculated from Medicare inpatient claims for FFS beneficiaries. See page E for measure definitions. The summary table also includes the national rate. Due to availability of the data, the national rates may be calculated from a different time period. 2 ED Visits and Observation Stays Tables The ED visits and observations stays tables provide the count of ED visits and observations stays, respectively, for each quarter in the current report period. ED visits and observation stays resulting in an inpatient stay are not included in the counts. 3 Regional Map The state of was divided into six regions: Western (WAZ), Northern (NAZ), Southern (SAZ), West Valley Phoenix (WV Phoenix), Central Valley Phoenix (CV Phoenix), and East Valley Phoenix (EV Phoenix). Aggregate readmission rates are calculated for each region using the hospitals located in the region. The table shows regional readmission rates for each region. 4 Outpatient ED Visits, Observation Stays, and Inpatient Admissions The two graphs depict the volume of outpatient ED visits, observation stays, and inpatient admissions for the state and the nation. The purpose of each is to monitor acute care utilization at the state and national levels. The counts are calculated for quarterly periods from Medicare acute care claims for FFS beneficiaries. Claims are classified based on hierarchy rules similar to Medicare bundled payment rules. Each encounter counts as only one of three types: (1) inpatient admission, (2) observation stay, or (3) ED visit. Therefore, ED visits and observation stays that result in an inpatient stay are counted as an inpatient stay. ED visits that result in an observation stay, but not an inpatient stay, are counted as an observation stay. Page C

15 Pages 4 through 10 provide the following data for all-cause and disease-specific 30-day readmissions: 5 Discharge distribution table 6 Line graph Example Dashboard (discharge distribution and line graph) Discharge Distribution Table The discharge distribution table shows the 30-day readmission rates by discharge setting, the proportion of readmissions that occurred back to your hospital or another hospital, and the number of days from discharge to readmission. Readmissions from home, skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), home health agencies (HHAs), and hospice are determined by the patient discharge status on the index hospitalization claim. All other discharge status codes are bucketed into the Other category. Results for the state and your hospital s region are provided for comparison. 6 Line graph The purpose of the readmission graph is to track readmission rates over time. The Line Graph shows your state s improvement in relation to nation. Rates are calculated quarterly. Page D

16 Measure Definitions All-Cause 30-Day Readmission Rates All-cause readmission rates are calculated as the percentage of hospital admissions that occurred within 30 days of an index admission for any condition. Each hospital admission within 30 days following an index admission is considered a readmission (e.g., a beneficiary with four readmissions in the measurement period counts as four separate readmissions). Any beneficiary who dies in the hospital or is transferred to another hospital on the same day is excluded from your facility s calculation. Readmissions from home, SNFs, HHAs, and hospice are determined by the patient discharge status on the index hospitalization claim. Planned Readmissions A planned readmission is a readmission within 30 days of discharge from a short-term acute care hospital that is a scheduled part of the patient s plan of care. Planned readmissions are excluded from this report. Condition-Specific 30-Day Readmission Rates When calculating disease-specific readmission rates, an admission is included if the principal diagnosis/procedure code for the admission specifies that disease (i.e., AMI, HF, CABG, PNE, COPD, and THA/TKA). Condition-specific readmissions include all-cause admissions that occur within 30 days of an index admission for the specific condition (e.g., a beneficiary with an index admission of AMI who is readmitted for a urinary tract infection (UTI) is considered an AMI readmission). Any beneficiary who dies in the hospital or is transferred to another hospital on the same day is excluded from your facility s calculation. The following table lists the codes used to identify the discharges for AMI, HF, CABG, PNE, COPD, and THA/TKA. ED Visits and Observation Stays The following table lists the codes used to identify ED visits and observations stays. Revenue Codes ED Visits 0450, 0451, 0452, 0456, 0459, 0981 HCPCS Observation Stays 0762, 0760 AND G0378 Page E
