33 NUMERATOR INDICATOR NAME HOSPITAL STANDARDIZED MORTALITY RATIO (HSMR) The hospital standardized mortality ratio (HSMR) is a big-dot summary measure that is used to track a hospital s mortality over time. The HSMR is a tool that allows hospitals to measure and monitor their progress in quality of care. HSMR is a ratio of the actual number of in-hospital deaths in a region or hospital to the number that would have been expected based on the types of patients a region or hospital treats. It focuses on the diagnosis groups that account for the majority of in-hospital deaths. Observed deaths HSMR= x 100 Expected deaths Detailed description of indicator Using a logistic regression model, HSMR is adjusted for several factors that affect in-hospital mortality, including age, sex, length of stay, admission category, diagnosis group, co morbidity and transfer from another acute care institution. A ratio equal to 100 suggests that there is no difference between a local mortality rate and the average national experience, given the types of patients cared for. An HSMR greater or less than 100 suggests that a local mortality rate is higher or lower, respectively, than the national experience. The confidence intervals describe the precision of the HSMR estimate. HSMR values are estimated to be accurate within the upper and lower confidence interval, 19 times out of % confidence interval is calculated using Byar s approximation. A confidence interval that includes 100 suggests that the HSMR is not statistically different from the baseline of 100. HSMR results whose confidence interval does not include 100 are statistically different from the baseline. INDICATOR CLASSIFICATION Explanatory Observed deaths, or actual number of in-hospital deaths that occurred in a hospital or region (among patients who satisfy HSMR inclusion and exclusion criteria).

INDICATOR CLASSIFICATION Explanatory Calculate observed readmissions: The sum of readmissions for all index cases in the reporting period. For each index case, identify whether there is a non-elective readmission to any facility within the specified number days of discharge. The readmission hospitalization is a non-elective readmission event if: - The admission date is within 30 days of the index case discharge date; - The DAD field admission category is urgent; and - Patient admission is not coded as an acute transfer by receiving hospital, keep as readmission if admitted to own hospital. Discharge Abstract Database (DAD), Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) Includes: 1.

55 DENO MINA TOR NUMERATOR Explanatory INDICATOR NAME INDICATOR CLASSIFICATION TOTAL MARGIN (HOSPITAL SECTOR ONLY) Explanatory Detailed description of indicator Total Margin measures the relative financial health of an organization and represents the percentage by which total revenues exceed total expenses (before building depreciation net of amortization of deferred grants) in a given year. This is the prime indicator of financial viability as it measures the extent to which hospitals are operating within their financial means. A negative Total Margin (a deficit) is not normally acceptable. Significant deficits forecasted over two or more years indicate an unsustainable system and require corrective measures. This indicator includes only sector code 1 revenues and expenses. Total Corporate Revenues (excluding interdepartmental recoveries and Facility Related Deferred Revenues) minus Total Corporate Expenses (excluding Interdepartmental Expenses and Facility Related Amortization Expenses and interest on long-term liabilities) for provincial Sector Code 1 (PSC 1*), multiplied by 100 Ontario Healthcare Financial and Statistical Database (OHFS) Includes: Provincial Sector Code Primary Accounts Secondary Account Type Secondary Accounts 1* 7*, 8* F 1* to 9*(excluding 12171, 12195, 12196, 12197, 122*, 13002, 13102, 14102, 15102, 15103, 45100, 62800, 62900, 69571, 69700, 72000, 950*, 955*) Total Corporate Revenues (excluding Interdepartmental Recoveries and 2015/16 HSAA Technical Specifications Page 55

INDICATOR CLASSIFICATION Performance PERFORMANCE STANDARD Target: To be determined between hospitals and their respective LHINs. Historical performance should be reviewed prior to target setting. Corridor: Upper corridor = performance target + 10% The total number of ALC days contributed by ALC patients within the specific reporting period. Inpatient service type is identified in the WTIS. Acute ALC days = the total number of ALC days contributed by ALC patients waiting in non-surgical (NS), surgical (SU), and intensive/critical care (IC) beds Wait Time Information System (WTIS) 2015/16 HSAA Technical Specifications Page 61

62 DENOMINATOR Exclusions 1. ALC cases discontinued due to Data Entry Error. 2. ALC cases having Inpatient Service = Discharge Destination for Post-Acute Care (*Exception: Bloorview Rehab, CCC to CCC). 3. ALC cases identified by the facility for exclusion. Methodology Notes The day of ALC designation is counted as an ALC day but the date of discharge or discontinuation is not counted as an ALC day. For cases with an ALC designation date on the last day of a reporting period and no discharge/discontinuation date, then ALC days = 1. The ALC Rate indicator methodology makes the assumption that the Inpatient Service data element (as defined in the WTIS) is comparable to the Bed Type data element (as defined in the BCS). Note that only those facilities (Acute & Post-Acute) submitting both ALC data (to the WTIS) and BCS data (through the HDB Web Portal) are included in ALC Rate calculation. Any master number that does not have inpatient days reported to the BCS for a given month/quarter will be excluded from reporting for that month/quarter. Please refer to Appendix A and the BCS DQ Notes tab for more details. The total patient days represents the total number of patient days contributed by inpatients within the specific reporting period. Bed type is identified in the BCS data submission.

Successes resulting in a higher rate of discharges in ALC clients will result in an initial spike in the results. Discharges of long-stay ALC clients will attribute all days to the time period of discharge, also potentially skewing the results. Point-in-time results must be analyzed with caution, and trending of this indicator is preferred. In 2006/07, reporting of activity from adult designated mental health units moved from the DAD to the Ontario Mental Health Reporting System (OMHRS). This means that moving a patient from an acute bed to a bed in a designated mental health bed is now coded as a transfer.

85 GEOGRAPHY & TIMING DENOMINATOR NUMERATOR INDICATOR DESCRIPTION INDICATOR NAME Detailed description of indicator INPATIENT MENTAL HEALTH WEIGHTED DAYS This indicator is a weighted total of days reported in adult mental health beds based on the System for Classification of Inpatient Psychiatry (SCIPP) weighted patient days (SWPD) methodology. The SWPD methodology is an accounting process that combines the SCIPP weighting groups, SCIPP Funding CMI values and administrative information about the patient to produce counts of the number of patient days and weighted patient days. Each day that a person is an inpatient is referred to as a patient day, and each patient day is weighted using the SCIPP Funding CMI associated with the appropriate SCIPP group for that period of time. The SWPD reports available from CIHI s Ontario Mental Health Reporting System (OMHRS) sums the weighted patients days for a given period of time according to the following rules: 1. The information from an assessment covers all patient days until the next assessment. 2. Information from the OMHRS admission assessment applies from the date of admission until the date of the admission assessment. The patient s SWPD events are set up based on the OMHRS assessments submitted within the reporting period. Information from these assessments is transformed into corresponding SWPD events by subdividing each episode into segments. The start date of each segment is the entry date, the assessment reference date or the discharge date. Patient days for each event are calculated as the event end date minus the event start date. The entry date is counted as one patient day, whereas the discharge date is not. While the discharge date is not counted as a patient day, we create a discharge event to acknowledge that discharge occurred. Ontario Mental Health Reporting System (OMHRS) TIMING/FREQUENCY OF RELEASE How often, and when, are data being released E.g. Be as specific as Information collected for OMHRS is used to produce SWPD reports. CIHI produces SWPD reports quarterly to summarize clinical and resource characteristics of individuals and facilities.
